A second set of DLC is on its way to Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, THQ has announced.

Due on all formats in December priced at 800 Microsoft Points or equivalent, the add-on includes a new Exterminatus co-op mode called Chaos Unleashed which sees you playing as a Chaos Space Marine fighting off both Orks and Imperial Guard Forces.

There are also three new multiplayer maps (Habs Ablaze, Station Tertius and Aquila Canyon0, new boss rounds, achievements and a new enemy unit - the Imperial Sanctioned Psyker.

Those not willing to open their wallets are also getting new content in the form of a Capture the Flag multiplayer mode.

On top of all that lot, you can also expect new skins for Salamanders, Alpha Legion, Legion of the Damned and Blood Angel, priced at 240 Microsoft Points.

The game's first DLC pack, labelled Exterminatus, launched last week, adding co-op play to the Relic-developed third person shooter.

    Not a fan of multiplayer for games like this but love 40K so I had hoped there'd be at least some single player elements to the DLC. Ah wells, maybe in the next set.

    If the MP wasn't so laggy it'd be great - I am having a lot of fun with it but the fact is it's close to unplayable most of the time and for that sort of gameplay which decides your life or death within seconds.

    Excellent, I can't wait! Already abandoned Battlefield 3 (which is just more of the same, albeit shinier) for Exterminatus so more can only be better!

    Oh dear and the march of DLC'd space marine chapters continues in space marine, I was hoping they'd not do that after doing it in dawn of war. But at least they're adding in a new MP mode for free, thats something.

    OH SHIT SON! I never thought i'd see the day that Salamanders would get some in-game love.
