SPACE WOLVES SPACE WOLVES SPACE WOLVES

[IzNoGreat]

We love the Wolf Guard for many reasons. Part of that being from Scandinavia, we have some common background there.

Also the Wolf Guard are not often seen in games, so instead of running with the possibly more obvious Dark Angels or Ultramarines as the first one, we wanted to give fans something a little new. Not that we dont want to add DA and Ultramarines later.

In addition the chapter is going to have the good old "Fangs of Fenris" campaign included in the same pack as the "chapter only" campaign.

ETA is "this year". We want to do it right, so do not have a public date yet.

Michael who models the terminators has been hard at work already, and we got the first developer preview model in the game.

Expect lots of pelts, wolf claws, frost axes and so on :-)

Official announcement from the newsletter here (also Steam sale news):

NEW SPACE MARINE CHAPTER

Today we have announced which chapter we’ll be adding to the game first and it may be surprising to some of our fans. It is going to be the legendary Space Wolves!! The chapter expansion will include the 3 mission campaign “Fangs of Fenris” from White Dwarf #200 as well as 3 new weapons Frost Axe, Frost Blade and Wolf Claws. If you want to read more about the announcement you can see the press release HERE http://ymlp.com/z4d6Wu


To celebrate we’ll be having our first Steam Sale tomorrow, on Saturday 12th of October, where you’ll be able to grab yourself a copy of Space Hulk with a 33% discount.

You can buy it on Steam HERE

We’ve also started selling Space Hulk on our own website and GamerGate, see HERE

EDIT: There's actually a ton of info in the newsletter update:

We’re currently making larger content updates than initially, so the frequency of updates will slow down to allow for the design, creation and testing to be done without rushing it.

We just made patch 1.2 live, which contains the first expansion campaign “Messenger of Purgatory” that we've been working on as well as more performance upgrades, visual upgrades and bugfixes.

Follow this link for the full change log list: http://steamcommunity.com/app/242570/discussions/0/864976115510136253/

We’ll also be looking to increase the performance and visual in the game even further, which is mainly possible because we have hired super talented tech artist. He has identified several places where we can improve performance with new shaders and at the same time improving the looks!

IPAD

During work on the iPad version, we also identify more and more places to save memory and improve performance. Those fixes (as long as they don’t compromise the PC version in a negative way) are being put into the PC build as well.

The ETA of this version is "when its done". We keep getting requests for a date, but besides saying that it's this year, we don’t want to commit ourselves to something that might shift a week or two. As soon as we have something more firm we will let you know. Soon™!

SEVERAL NEW CHAPTER PACKS

We have a selection of old White Dwarf missions as well as brand new original designed missions/campaigns in the works. These will be released over the next months as fast as we can produce them.

We are also thankful for a lot of good suggestions in the Suggestions/improvements thread, and are filtering through these to pluck out good ideas or fast to implement ideas.

Love it! Space Wolves are my favorite (just finished reading the second omnibus), so I'm excited about the new campaign.

[SouthLane]

Before you get to wrapped up in your celebrations, is there any sort of date on the next patch, mainly a graphics fix of some kind?

[Zahriel]

Nice to know that Sapce Wolves will be released for Space Hulk soon, with their own Campaign. But actually, it doesn´t really come as a surprise, if I may say so. Not regarding Chapter anyways.
Chapters as Dark Angels, Ultra Marines, White Scars doesn´t really come as a surprise.
Surprise Chapters would be that are little or almost no mention of when it comes to all the books written about Marines in general.
Like Legion of the Damned for instance. Now that would for me be a real surprise to include for Space Hulk.
