Warhammer 40K: New FPS Leaked – Necromunda Hired Gun
It seems that the Microsoft online storefront revealed a new first-person shooter set in Warhammer 40K’s Necromunda.
It looks like there’s a new 40K game coming soon, and we’ll be headed for the industrial wasteland that is the Underhive of Hive Primus on the all-important world of Necromunda. Earlier today, the Microsoft Storefront unveiled a new game titled Necromunda: Hired Gun for pre-order.
Necromunda, for those unfamiliar, is a massive hive world that produces munitions for the Astra Militarum, making it an especially important world. The Underhive is where vicious gangs fight to eke out a hard-scrabble living as they vie for control of the precious resources that can be found amid the refuse of miles-high city-spires.
And now, it looks like we’ll be getting to take a close up, first-person look at the Underhive with Hired Gun. Holy cow this game looks like a ton of fun. You play as a mercenary accompanied by a cyber-mastiff (which means that @canyoupetthedog will be watching carefully, no doubt) as you tear through crime in the darkest reaches of the infamous hive city.
If I had to guess, I’d say you’re a Cawdor-connected mercenary, because not only do you have a cool cyber-grappling hook that allows you to travel all over the station, but you also get to use rats as bombs, a favorite Cawdor trick.
We can also see the mercenary fighting alongside the Eschers, while fighting both Goliaths and Orlocks…
And is that an Ambot I see down there?
This isn’t the first time that Warhammer 40K has had a first-person shooter, in fact, not long ago, the multiplayer co-op shooter Space Hulk: Deathwing brought heroes to the confined corridors of many a Space Hulk–and the same team is backing Necromunda: Hired Gun.
The game is up for pre-order now, and it’s on sale.
