THQ has announced a number of details regarding forthcoming console-based action-RPG Space Marine.

As previously reported, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is an action-rpg "built from the ground up for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 systems, and will allow gamers to take control of individual units and fight in epic battles across the Warhammer 40.000 universe," according to Jonathan Dowdeswell, general manager at Relic, developer of the game.

You take control of a mighty Space Marine in a science fiction setting almost 40,000 years in the future. The player will go through the campaign in a narrative-driven story line, saving the universe from horrific aliens and demonic hordes. The "epic battles" mentioned by Doweswell are wide-scale online clashes.

The WH40K universe has a lot of avid fans and the new game "will bring that world to life on the Xbox 360 and [PS3] systems for the first time ever," according to Kevin Kraff, VP at THQ.

Shipping date has not yet been announced.
