The brilliant PowerWash Simulator has had Tomb Raider DLC. It's had Final Fantasy DLC. It's even getting SpongeBob DLC this summer.

Next up: Warhammer 40,000 DLC.

Games Workshop announced the surprise crossover at its Warhammer Skulls showcase with a teaser video, below, that shows a powerwash nozzle cleaning grime off the Warhammer 40,000 logo.

"The team at FuturLab are absolutely thrilled with this collaboration," said Dan Chequer, lead designer of PowerWash Simulator.

"The rich design and imagination of the Warhammer 40,000 universe makes for an incredible selection of cleaning jobs. Players are going to need a steady hand, an eye for detail and a powerful washer to fight the filth of the far future!"

That's all we have for now, but I think it's fun to speculate on what this Warhammer 40,000 DLC will involve. How about we start by cleaning the guts of a Tyranid from a Space Marine's Power Armour? Perhaps after that we can move on to cleansing the nooks and crannies of a Leman Russ tank. Thinking big, it would be amazing (and time consuming) to have to clean an Imperial Knight from top to bottom.

Final boss? It's got to be a Great Unclean One. I'm not sure stronger soap and a more powerful spray's going to help much with peeling the puss off the rotting skin of one of Nurgle's mightiest daemons, but the Emperor expects.

As you can probably tell, I sit squarely inside the Venn diagram someone somewhere probably drew as they worked out potential interest in a PowerWash Simulator / Warhammer 40,000 crossover. It's as if this DLC was made just for me.

The Emperor, finally, has delivered.
