Warhammer: Space Marine has been announced for PC release in 2011 alongside the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Combining intense melee and ranged combat, Space Marine is a third-person RPG that puts players into the boots of one of humanity’s elite soldiers, genetically engineered and equipped with state of the art weapons and armor.

Players are dropped right into the action as they battle to defend an Imperial Forge World, from an invasion by the savage and brutal Orks, using the most devastating weaponry mankind has at its disposal.

You are a Space Marine, one of humanity’s elite warriors, the last line of defense between mankind and its enemies. Through extensive genetic modification, psycho-chemical conditioning and years of rigorous training that would kill a normal man a Space Marine becomes superhuman.

When one of the industrial ‘Forge World’ planets where humanity creates its greatest weapons, comes under attack and the thousands of imperial soldiers stationed there are overwhelmed the only thing standing between this planet and its total destruction is your Space Marine.

Jonathan Dowdeswell, General Manager of Relic Entertainment commented: “The loyal PC audience is incredibly important to us here at Relic so we are delighted to be able to announce the PC version of the game.”

Here is a trailer for Space Marine.
