The game launches next Friday in the UK sans co-op. However, Relic has now announced that the co-op component will arrive in October via download and will be free to anyone who bought the game.
The mode, called Exterminatus, will be four-player online co-op and is Space Marine versus Orks and the Forces of Chaos.
All three multiplayer classes: Tactical Marine, Devastator and Assault, are available. Perks unlocked in the competitive multiplayer mode can be used, and co-op progression will apply to your multiplayer ranking, meaning you can unlock perks and weapons through it.
Exterminatus will initially launch with two scenarios: Assault on Hab Center Andreas and Escape from Kalkys Facility. Each will include multiple arenas. Co-op is score based, with global leaderboards. Multipliers and dynamic challenges will help teams boost their scores.
