THQ’s second downloadable content pack for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is scheduled to release for the Xbox 360 , Playstation3 and Windows PC on 25th January in PAL regions.
The premium add-on pack, ‘The Dreadnought’ adds a new multiplayer mode called ‘Dreadnought Assault’ where both teams battle to capture a central location on the map and the winners spawn a player controlled Dreadnought
‘The Dreadnought arsenal consists of an Assault Cannon / Auto Cannon, a Meltagun and a Power Fist / Power Claw and gamers will need to capture points across the map to score points for their team. Once the Dreadnought is destroyed a new spawn point will appear.
This second DLC pack also includes three new multiplayer maps – Desolation, Dome Mechanicus and Chem Refinery – which brings new achievements / trophies. The DLC will set you back 800 Microsoft Points or around R100 on PSN and Steam.
In addition to the premium add-on content all players of Space Marine will receive a new multiplayer Capture and Control Mode for free. Playable on all the game’s multiplayer maps, this team based mode challenges players to capture and defend locations around the map to score points.
Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Management commented:
“Fans of Space Marine have been asking for vehicles for a while so we are delighted to be bringing the iconic Dreadnought and Chaos Dreadnought to consoles for the first time in this DLC content.”
You should also look out for two new player skins for sale on the Xbox LIVE for 240 Microsoft Points or R30 on PSN and Steam.
