The Warhammer 40,000 universe finally gets another FPS outing in Space Hulk: Deathwing.

Join us as we strap Phil and Matt into Terminator power armour and fire them into the side of a massive spaceship. As you do.

As the video games industry continues trying to cram itself into as few companies as possible, French publisher Focus Home Interactive have announced they've bought a majority stake in Streum On Studio. They're the French studio behind the delightfully ambitious E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy as well as two Warhammer 40K shooters published by Focus Home, Space Hulk: Deathwing and the upcoming Necromunda: Hired Gun. Honestly, they seem a fair fit. And hey, they've made a new Necromunda trailer too.

In the last five years alone, there have been four video game adaptations of the Warhammer 40,000 spin-off, Space Hulk. Plenty of chances to get it right, you d think, though the first three attempts suggest otherwise. And here comes Space Hulk: Tactics, once again throwing gruesome Genestealers against stompy Terminators in derelict spaceship corridors. It s not quite a combo-breaker, but it gets very close.

Update Night is a fortnightly column in which Rich McCormick revisits games to find out whether they’ve been changed for better or worse.
Bolters are the standard-issue weapons of Warhammer 40,000 s Space Marines, and they fire bolts. But they re not just bolts not really. As befitting the grim darkness of 40K s far future, the bullets that Space Marines fire are individual rocket-propelled grenades, each backloaded with enough fuel to force them through ceramite armor, and frontloaded with enough explosive to shred the soft meat hidden inside that armour.

Space Hulk: Deathwing must have been a dream project for little French indie studio Streum On, creators of the endearingly janky E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy. As a team they’d started their careers with making Warhammer 40,000-themed mods, so having the official key to the kingdom must have felt like a miracle, but with a famous license and a higher budget comes higher expectations.
While undoubtedly more polished than E.Y.E, Deathwing still felt like a low-budget game with a high-budget facade. After an additional year and a half of development and launching alongside the PS4 version of the game, an Enhanced Edition rolled out today, addressing many of the flaws of the original launch and for those with the original version, it’s a free upgrade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tK0e4i0UEo The Enhanced Edition brings a wealth of all-new features and upgrades for the ultimate Space Hulk: Deathwing experience, including deep class customization and the Chaplain class, as well as new weapons, enemy types and the highly-replayable Special Missions mode.

The all-new Class Customization allows players to personalize both appearance and gameplay for online and offline play, from striking armour sets to powerful weapon attachments. Everything is earned entirely in-game, with no microtransactions now or planned for the future.

Back in 2011, French indie studio Streum On released E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, an atmospheric shooter/RPG that took a fair bit of inspiration from Warhammer 40,000 and collected a cult following in spite of its bugginess and oddity. When Streum On announced they were doing a legit 40K game it seemed like a perfect follow-up—they were obviously fans of the setting, and this time they might make something a little more polished.
They sort of did. Space Hulk: Deathwing took a board game that had been the inspiration for four other videogames and did something different with it, turning it into a first-person shooter whose main strength was atmosphere. The space hulks of the title are ships lost between dimensions that drift back into realspace merged together, engine rooms connecting to gothic cathedral interiors full of aliens called Genestealers with the wrong number of arms. Leading a squad of Space Marines into a hulk in Deathwing was eerie. Inhuman cries echoed down the corridors and mechanical servo-skulls hovered around scanning everything.
Although Deathwing turned out OK, it felt a bit confused about what it wanted to be, with a co-op mode that required you either start earning abilities from scratch every session or play in the "codex mode" that gave you all of them, with nothing in between. It also had a framerate that dropped whenever swarms of enemies were on the screen—and for a game all about clearing swarms of enemies, that was a problem.
But Streum On have been tweaking and patching away and now are unveiling their Enhanced Edition of Deathwing. It's been optimized hugely, and I only encountered one framerate drop in hours of play. The multiplayer's been revamped, with a system for leveling up and a suite of persistent customization options. There are new enemies and weapons. It's almost but not quite a whole new game.
The customization's worth elaborating on. One of the things about Deathwing that pleased 40K fans was how it got the look of the Space Marines right, their bulky terminator armor covered in chapter insignia and other ornate cruft. There's now even more variety to it, including hyper-detailed banners. There's an extra class too, the Chaplain, who wears a skull-mask, carries an electric sceptre, and looks like the Archbishop of Badass. Some of the equipment and perks you can buy has minor effects like reducing cooldowns by 10%, but they're unlikely to be game-changing and you remain pretty fearsome from level one.
Deathwing remains a game for the 40K hardcore, who will lap up the environments and spend hours earning renown points to buy the sweet Guardian of the Covenant outfits.
In the story mode you don't get to see this because you're stuck playing the protagonist, but each level you finish gets added to the list of replayable Special Missions. These you can jump into with a custom Marine whether solo or co-op, returning to maps with a huge number of randomized objectives—repetition is one of the things the original was criticized for and this is obviously a way of dealing with that.
No matter which mode you play you'll also get to face new enemies, like the bio-blast strain who detonate when they die and brutish hybrid aberrants who look like ogres carrying mining equipment. But while the Marines look exactly like they should, the Genestealers have a lumpiness that makes them a bit less threatening than they should be, like they're bubbly from spending too long in the oven.
Shooting remains a bit off too, with the guns having lots of muzzle-flash and recoil (a surprising amount given they're in the hands of walking tanks), but little impact. Melee weapons are whiffy too, and make me miss the meaty hand-to-hand of Vermintide. These are issues that seem too deeply embedded to be entirely remedied by the other enhancements. Similarly, the squad AI still feels dopey—part of the problem there is that their barks trigger at daft times, and they'll do things like warn you about "the claws of xenos approaching" even while surrounded by a mob of the things.
Deathwing remains a game for the 40K hardcore, who will lap up the environments and spend hours earning renown points to buy the sweet Guardian of the Covenant outfits. The improved framerate and some fresh blood in the multiplayer will give fans an excuse to jump back in and shout about PURGING FOR THE EMPEROR once again, but it's still tough to recommend to anyone else. Still, within its niche it does the job, and it's an entirely free upgrade for those who own the original. Which is nice.

Polish your crotchskull and prepare to demonstrate renewed devotion to the Emperor, as Space Hulk: Deathwing will officially become the Enhanced Edition on May 22nd. This is the last in a series of free updates intended to expand and improve the squad-based FPS, which had the looks of Warhammer 40K but didn’t have the touch. It was too janky and just too thin, which is a shame because it has such lovely Gothic spaceships and such big crotchskulls. Fingers crossed this update can find that magic. Not that I believe in magic; that would be heresy. Ah yes, I love the Emperor, I surely do. (more…)

Today marks the beginning of the Games Workshop's event Skulls for the Skull Throne, a weekend-long event during which games from the Warhammer world and the Warhammer 40,000 universe are enjoying time-limited discount offers on Steam, as well as additional content themed around the Blood God, Khorne, the legendary Warhammer figure sitting upon his Skull Throne in the Realm of Chaos!
On this special occasion, the Warhammer games from the Focus Home Interactive catalogue will benefit from exceptional discounts on Steam, along with free additional content for all players to enjoy, all themed around the Blood God Khorne, and the characteristic Skulls this God of Chaos is associated with!
The extra content coming to Space Hulk: Deathwing is detailed below:
A brand new class has been added to the game - the fearsome Interrogator-Chaplain. This specialist officer is the spiritual leader of his fellow Dark Angels and is famously known for his macabre skull helm.
Available in solo special missions and multiplayer, this fearsome fighter for the Emperor brings a unique set of weapons such as the Crozius Arcanum, a sacred staff infused with a powerful energy field generator. Chaplains are able to provide unparalleled support, capable of resurrecting downed squad members, reflecting damage back to his enemies, and much more.

Then, go to "C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Local\SpaceHulkGame\Saved\Logs" (replace "currentuser" by your User Name on your computer). If you crashed, the game automatically creates a folder that you can compress into a .zip (or .rar) file and attach in your post.
DxDiag - Press the WINDOWS key (bottom left), then type DXDIAG in the Search Bar and click on the corresponding program. A diagnosis will be executed then. After it's done, click on "Save all information" and save the DxDiag as text file (.txt).

This new update is a first glimpse of the major content addition coming later this year with the release of Space Hulk: Deathwing on consoles - free on PC.
After the last update focused on technical fixes and performance improvement, we're now focused on improving gameplay and content based on your feedback since launch - replay value and multiplayer long term progression are our main priorities.
Update 5 features a new game mode called Special Missions. Played in the existing maps, players must successfully achieve different objectives randomly chosen.
This new mode is available on the SM_Chapter_01, in the multiplayer lobby menu. It will be available on other maps later.
We’d like you to try it out and give your feedback if you find any technical issue and what you think about this new mode.
How to access the patch 5 open beta
From your Steam library, right-click on ‘Space Hulk: Deathwing’ then go to Properties > Betas
Select the beta “nextpatch”
Launch the game to start the update
How to report issues and bugs
Please report any issues encountered in the dedicated section on the official Space Hulk: Deathwing support forum.
Before posting your feedback, please read the known issues list carefully and be sure to report it in the correct category - it really helps us to read it and process everything!
In order to help us to locate and fix bugs, please include the dump files and DxDiag in your report. Try to give us as much details as possible about the issue and what you were doing when it happened. Screenshots are also welcome.
Dump files - first, you must enable the visibility of “Hidden Folders” in your Windows settings. You can find how to do it on Google. Then, go to "C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Local\SpaceHulkGame\Saved\Logs" (replace "currentuser" by your User Name on your computer). If you crashed, the game automatically creates a folder that you can compress into a .zip (or .rar) file and attach in your post.
DxDiag - Press the WINDOWS key (bottom left), then type DXDIAG in the Search Bar and click on the corresponding program. A diagnosis will be executed then. After it's done, click on "Save all information" and save the DxDiag as text file (.txt).
After this, all you need to do is to compress them into a zip file (with the Dump files) and attach it to your post here with a detailed description of your crash.
The Emperor calls once again for your assistance - to battle!
