A title that's currently in a closed alpha state on PC, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is being brought to PlayStation 4 by Bandai Namco. The title's rather comedic announcement trailer paints a decent enough picture, but what's the game actually like?
Well, after a bit of research, it turns out that Eternal Crusade is actually a massively multiplayer online third person shooter that takes place in a persistent world. In other words, it's pretty ambitious. Combat happens in real time, with ranged weapons and melee armaments such as chainswords both playing vital roles.
It's a title worth keeping an eye on, then, and we'll hopefully hear a bit more about it in the near future. Would you like to gear up in huge space marine armour and put countless other players to the slaughter? Go commando in the comments section below.

I do love the 40k universe and that trailer is pretty cool. But a Blood Angel giving an Ultramarine orders!? Things must be bad if it's come to that. Better call in the Imperial Guard.
I went to high school with this nerdy bloke who painted these warhammer figures. My mom visited his mom once and I tagged along, because I was curious to see what these things really like. He showed me his room and he had all these beautifully handpainted figures on a huge table where he recreated a fort, rocks and a lake. I'll never forget what he said when I looked at it and chuckled, he said: "I know you'll make fun of me in class bout this, but deep inside you wish you were more like me".
He's one of my best friends now...still a nerd though!
Yeah I've been looking forward to this for a long time, I opted out of email updates as they were constantly sending me crap about the PC version and all the amazing pre order stuff you could get, blah. I don't think it's out until December though is it, I expect delays.
@LieutenantFatman imperial guard, cannon fodder.
To far away to even worry with.
If it's F2p I might look into it. I remember playing Warhammer Age of Reckoning on PC years ago.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi True enough, as long as you don't ignore their massive tanks. Those things are can wipe out entire squads of almost anything.
Awsome sauce this is a game I can get really excited about, canny wait for this.
Looks a bit like that PlanetSide thing thing that confused me profoundly and I never really touched it again after trying out the Beta.
