Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Dreadnought DLC Coming Next Week

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

Written Thursday, January 19, 2012 By Richard Walker

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is set to get another batch of multiplayer DLC next week with the Dreadnought Pack, which adds three new maps and a brand new mode to delve into, as well as new trophies to earn.

The new multiplayer mode is called Dreadnought Assault, and sees two teams fighting for control of a tactical point on the map. Whichever team is successful in securing the location gets to spawn a dreadnought, which for the uninitiated, is a bulky bipedal tank armed to the teeth with Meltaguns, Assault Cannons and whatnot.

Desolation, Chem Refinery and Dome Mechanicus are the three maps that come with the Dreadnought pack, and THQ has also confirmed that there'll be more free DLC coming with a Capture and Control Mode for multiplayer too. Pricing for the Dreadnought Pack has yet to be confirmed, but it'll be coming to the PlayStation Network on January 25th.

	Focusing all player aggression to a single point on the map is gleefully evil. On Bridge, most combat takes place around the midpoint in any case, and now there's INCENTIVE?! I eagerly await to see how they portray the Dreadnaught in this game, whether it will be an OP death wall to the enemy team or if grouped Devastators will ping them out of existence every time. In any case, even in death, it still serves...
