The first screenshots of the new Space Hulk game have been released.

Space Hulk is a 3D turn-based strategy game in development at Full Control, and is due out on PC, Mac and iOS later this year.

It's a video game based on the board game spin-off of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. These first two screenshots show Space Marine Terminators inside an ancient dead space ship, as is the Space Hulk way, fighting off Genestealers.

The second screenshot gives us our first glimpse of squad management, and rekindles memories of Firaxis' superb XCOM remake.

The Space Hulk video game is based on the Sin of Damnation campaign from the 3rd edition board game and includes 12 missions across the single-player and co-op campaign.

In multiplayer one player controls the Space Marines, the other the Genestealers. There's cross-platform play so PC, Mac and mobile gamers can play together. There's a level editor, too.
