With Shadowrun Returns hitting yesterday (with our review right here), it is easy to get all sorts of nostalgic for the games of my youth. Well, that works out well as we just got the announcement that Space Hulk is now available for pre-order on Steam this morning. To go along with the announcement, we also have some screens and a trailer showing off the completely rebuilt classic. Here’s a bit about it:
Full Control today announced that digital download service Steam is now accepting pre-orders for Space Hulk, its highly anticipated 3D digital turn based strategy game based on the best-selling board game and set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Scheduled for commercial release on August 15th, 2013, the pre-order promotion will offer two limited edition DLC exclusives: a personal banner pole for multiplayer action and a Genestealer skin for single player combat.
