Space Hulk: Deathwing Special Missions Update

Space Hulk: Deathwing, the FPS from Streum On Studio set in the Warhammer 40K universe, will launch as an ‘Enhanced Edition’ for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Q4 2017. This edition adds new content and features for players who dare enter the Genestealer-infested Space Hulk – all of which will be included in a series of free content updates for PC players.

The countdown to the Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition begins today, starting with an update for PC players. This latest patch focuses on more gameplay variety by introducing the Special Missions game mode to multiplayer. Special Missions, which have been added to Chapter 1 but are coming later to every chapter in the game, will generate a randomized sequence of missions and Genestealer spawns for a truly unpredictable challenge.

Streum On Studio also shared a glimpse of just a few of the upcoming features players can look forward to in the Enhanced Edition:

  • Full multiplayer progression system with loot and class customization
  • New multiplayer class
  • New weapon and skills
  • New enemies

More information about the above and other new features will be announced as the Enhanced Edition’s release draws closer. The Special Missions content update is available today, in a free download for all existing and future owners of Space Hulk: Deathwing on Steam.

Quake Champions – Ranger Champion Trailer

Two decades ago, a lone Marine stepped through the Slipgate and into a nightmare. He cut through countless horrors to find four eldritch Runes, then laid waste to the abomination known as Shub-Niggurath. Ranger, the original Quake badass, is hungry for more gibs in Quake Champions.

Ranger’s a Quake legend – this is the guy that fragged through the Dimension of the Doomed and the Realm of Black Magic. He’s been trapped in the realms ever since, even competing in the bloody halls of Quake III Arena.

In Quake Champions, Ranger digs into his clutch of gory mementos to wield the Dire Orb, seized from the hot gore of the All-Mother at the end of Quake, to teleport (and telefrag) through the Arenas. Ranger’s Son of a Gun Passive Ability grants him a 25% reduction in self-damage, allowing him to Rocket Jump with less pain… and providing for more up-close-and-personal, gibby Rocket Launcher kisses.
