With only one month left until release, the whole team is working non-stop to add the final layer of polish to our game and deliver the best possible experience to players. We now needs your support: Steam pre-order players are invited to join our upcoming Beta tests.

Starting next week, we will invite a limited number of pre-order players to join a closed-beta to help us gather the latest technical and gameplay feedback for the game.

Starting around November 20, ALL players who have pre-ordered Space Hulk: Deathwing on Steam will be able to get their first taste through a new beta.

You’ll be able to experience the game’s tutorial to learn the basics, before teaming up to complete a mission from the game’s campaign with up to 3 other players in co-op! These betas will be the perfect opportunity for us to gather the latest feedback from players, in order to offer the best possible gaming experience at launch.

In the meantime: Enter the Space Hulk and delve deep into its colossal environments to discover their place in the Warhammer 40,000 lore, in our latest trailer!

Each Space Hulk is an amalgamation of ancient ships and space debris, and Olethros is filled with lore from the 10,000 years since the dawn of the Imperium to the 41st Millennium.

You will be exploring Black Templar ships, troop transports, and even pirate vessels that were lost in the Warp and became part of the Space Hulk OIethros’ bowels. We made sure that every inch of the colossal ships, each corridor and each room, contains highly detailed designs, unique architectural styles, and references to Warhammer 40,000 history.

An incredible amount of care was also given to the enemies and their AI. The Genestealers have many variants with unique abilities and skills, combined with their AI utilizing pack tactics and ambushes that remain faithful to the lore.

As a Terminator Armour-clad member of the Deathwing, you have access to the most advanced weapons the Imperium has to offer. Available to you and your squad are the iconic Stormbolter and other famous Space Marine weapons and variants.

Don your Terminator power armor, take up your Storm Bolter, and bring glory to the Emperor in Space Hulk: Deathwing, when it launches December 9 on PC.

Pre-order now the game on Steam and get access to the pre-order Beta, 15% off and one in-game weapon – the Lost Mace of Corswain.

Here at BoLS, we’ve been keeping eye out on this game ever sense we saw the teaser-trailer from Gamescom. The game looks really, really good visually. And if they nailed the creepy atmosphere, “gun play” and Genestealer/Tyranid AI I’m pretty sure they are going to have a hit on their hands.

Now, some of you may have noticed that the release date did get pushed back from November to December 9th. I’m a little bummed because I was looking forward to playing the game this month. Turns out I’ll still be able to because if you pre-ordered the game you’ll have a shot at the Beta starting November 20th. It’s not going to be the full release, but it’s going to be a quick taste of what’s in store.

On the one hand, again, I’m bummed it’s not the full game. On the other, I’m okay with waiting a few more weeks to play this game in full – especially if those weeks are spent adding some polish and shine to an already amazing looking game. It would be a tragedy for them to release too early and have such an amazing looking game fall short due to bugs or other issues. Fingers crossed – we’ll all be blasting Xeno Scum before you know it!

 

I’m so ready for this game. Into the breach once again!
