On: Windows From: Steam and Humble For: 34.99/$39.99/ 39.99 In the last five years alone, there have been four video game adaptations of the Warhammer 40,000 spin-off, Space Hulk. Plenty of chances to get it right, you d think, though the first three attempts suggest otherwise. And here comes Space Hulk: Tactics , once again throwing gruesome Genestealers against stompy Terminators in derelict spaceship corridors. It s not quite a combo-breaker, but it gets very close.

Space Hulk: Deathwing – Enhanced Edition expands tomorrow with the Infested Mines DLC, available free to all players for free. Included in the massive update is a new map, Infested Mines, playable in Solo Special Missions and Multiplayer Co-op. With more verticality than any other map, these twisting underground caverns and corridors strike a balance between terrifying claustrophobia and wide-open battlefields. This brings the total multiplayer map count of the game to eight, each with a massive amount of replayability on different difficulties and with various squad compositions. With improvements made to the general balance of the game as well as specific issues with AI Terminator team-mates, single-player and multiplayer games are improved substantially. Also included in this update is the ability to turn off the HUD. This can give an additional level of difficulty and realistic feel to the fighting, as well as being the perfect way to make your own fantastic screenshots. On top of that is a raft of bug fixes and tweaks to keep the game running smoothly. Today's update prepares the release of The Infested Mines DLC tomorrow. It will be available available through the Steam

Hello everyone, It's been two months since Space Hulk: Deathwing launched, and we've been heavily focused on improving performance in both the PC and PS4 versions, as well as fixing bugs that you've reported in the time since release. To that end, we're happy today to announce a large patch coming to PS4 and PC later this month, Infested Mines. Firstly, Infested Mines will introduce a new map, also called Infested Mines, playable in Solo Special Missions and Multiplayer Coop, and unlocked from the start of the game. This will be available to all players as free DLC. Additionally, Infested Mines will introduce a photo mode to Space Hulk: Deathwing, allowing players to take screenshots of the game without the HUD appearing. This will be accessible from the options menu. We'll also be introducing a number of quality of life changes in Infested Mines, with improved Terminator AI, you are now able to cancel a Psygate by pressing the activation button again, as well as a new option for server filters (you can now leave an option blank, instead of selecting either yes or no). We've now also reduced the distance at which you will be able to hear Explosive Gene

Update Night is a fortnightly column in which Rich McCormick revisits games to find out whether they’ve been changed for better or worse. Bolters are the standard-issue weapons of Warhammer 40,000 s Space Marines, and they fire bolts. But they re not just bolts not really. As befitting the grim darkness of 40K s far future, the bullets that Space Marines fire are individual rocket-propelled grenades, each backloaded with enough fuel to force them through ceramite armor, and frontloaded with enough explosive to shred the soft meat hidden inside that armour.
