The second set of DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has been announced by THQ. Expected in December on all formats, the add-on will include a new Exterminatus co-op mode called Chaos Unleashed.

If you’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the four player co-op for the most recent game to mention Warhammer in the title, you need only wait until 25 October for it.

In short
A simple, but fun action game that combines hack n’ slash with shooting. Warhammer 40 000: Space Marine is not the deepest gaming experience, but it certainly plays well thanks to great controlling mechanics which work well to deliver visually appealing combos.

Singleplayer is satisfying and multiplayer works pretty well to deliver enough diversity to gain a following. How big that following will be remains to be seen – but it definitely deserves a following.
