Move over Assassin's Creed. There's another series that intends to inundate us with new entries on a seemingly weekly basis. Developer Full Control is pleased to announce the release date of a third new Warhammer 40000 title in as many weeks, Space Hulk: Ascension Edition.
Warhammer 40000: Space Wolf Now Available On iOS
The game will launch on Wednesday, November 12 for PC, Mac and Linux via Steam.
Space Hulk: Ascension Edition "is a 3D, digital, turn-based, strategy game, which builds upon the classic board game experience, and adds new RPG style mechanics, additional weapons, enemy types, an all-new chapter and loads of other new features. Set in the isolated corridors and tomb-like chambers of ancient vessels lost in the graveyard of space, players lead a small force of fearless Space Marine Terminators in a ferocious fight for survival against hordes of predatory, alien Genestealers."

Some of the highlights featured in the game are:
Huge Amounts of Content - 103 unique missions spread out across 3 campaign chapters, featuring the Alturians, the Space Wolves or Blood Angels
New Enemies - new Genestealer variations for you to face in the depths of the Space Hulk.
New Mechanics - a complete reworking of the board game rules and mechanics. It's still the Space Hulk game you love, reimagined for a new experience.
Customisation - RPG-style skill progression and player squad management allow you to create your own tailor-made team of hardened veterans
New weapons, more complex maps, combi-weapons and flash missions.
Ascension Edition will feature '10x the amount of content from the original Space Hulk game'. Expect to clock in anywhere from 50 to 100 hours of turn-based, space marine action.
Ascension Edition joins the recent mobile release of Warhammer 40000: Space Wolf, the upcoming Warhammer 40000: Regicide for desktop and Space Hulk: Deathwing for Xbox One and PS4, which is due out in 2015. What will next week bring?
