Space Marine will have co-op

Upcoming third-person action game Space Marine will have co-op, THQ has confirmed.

A THQ community manager wrote on the game's official forum that co-op will be added 30 days after launch and will be free to those who bought new copies of the game. The post has since been removed.

"Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will have co-op," THQ told Joystiq. "We are looking forward to announcing more details later this month!"

As Co-Optimus reports, US video game shop mentioned "5-player co-op: Bonus FREE game mode (Day 30 DLC)" last week.

The news also suggests Space Marine will support THQ's Online Pass system.
