This looks like it’s going to be a blast! Especially with me being a huge fan of the previous first-person shooter based in the Warhammer universe, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. When THQ (not Nordic THQ) went under, I sure we’d never get an experience like that again. But with Necromunda: Hired Gun, it looks like I was thankfully wrong. In fact, this very well could be a spiritual successor to Space Marine.
“Developed by the passionate indie team of Warhammer 40,000 diehards at Streum On Studio (makers of Space Hulk: Deathwing), Necromunda: Hired Gun is fast-paced and brutal, giving you endless options for engaging your enemies. Wall-run, double-jump, and use your wrist-mounted grappling hook to rush, disarm, and evade enemies. And then there’s the upgrades — everything from your brain to legs and even your pet dog can be enhanced as you earn money from contracts.
Your cyber-mastiff is your only true companion — half-dog, half-robot, and fully ready to strike in exchange for treats. Your canine friend can warn you of enemies and insta-kill them with a bite to the neck, so keep him healthy in return with the best augments money can buy!”
I’ll be adding this to another game to look forward to this year. Necromunda: Hired Gun is scheduled to launch on June 1, 2021, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Are you excited about this game, and if so, which platform are you looking forward to playing it on?
