A lot of Warhammer 40K video games that have come out recently haven't been up to much. Space Hulk: Deathwing actually looks really good!

Space Hulk: Deathwing is a first-person shooter based on the Space Hulk board game. It's made with Unreal Engine 4 by the team behind E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy: Streum On Studio.

The video, below, gives us a useful overview of how it will play. Deathwing looks suitable atmospheric for a game set on a creepy spaceship packed with horrible aliens.

You play as a Librarian alongside either AI squadmates or fellow players. The story is co-written by Dark Angels writer Gavin Thorpe.

Space Hulk: Deathwing is due out later in 2016 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. One to watch!
