Indie Danish developer Full Control announces the release of a new automatic
Steam patch for
Space Hulk that adds co-op support to the mech combat
strategy game. This coincides with the release of a new
Harbinger of Torment
Campaign that adds five new missions that are designed around co-op play,
though they are also available in single-player and versus modes. Here's word on
the patch and the DLC:
Players can now challenge friends, in up to
4-player co-op battles where three gamers each control a squad of terminators
and one player controls the Genestealers. To support co-op gameplay, Full
Control has given multiplayer a complete overhaul and is introducing a lobby
system where players can see other gamers who are online and ready to play. The
new co-op functionality is free with Space Hulk, so all players need to do is
log in, visit the new lobby and play.
About the Harbinger of Torment Campaign
As the Space Hulk, the Harbinger of Torment, emerged from the warp it was
discovered to be on a collision course with the planet Baal. Several attempts
were made to change course, but all failed. A team of the Imperium’s finest
warriors is sent to the Harbinger of Torment to try and reverse the engines or
stop them altogether. Failure is not an option. Harbinger of Torment has been
specially designed for 4 player co-op and is now available for PC, Mac and Linux
on Steam.
