THQ has announced today that a new Warhammer title will be hitting PSPs. In Squad Command, gamers play as the elite Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter and must fight the (obviously) evil Chaos Space Marines. The game promises 13 single-player missions and a "robust multiplayer mode" with 9 unique missions.Of particular note is the "fully destructible, real time 3D battlefields" the game promises. Theoretically, this means that each battle can be dynamic and different, although we haven't seen the extent of the damage that can be dealt.
There will be over 20 ranged and close combat weapons in the game, taken directly from the Warhammer 40,000 universe, including the Bolter, Plasma Gun, Chainsword and Power Fist. Expect more details on this new game in the coming months.

I think this looks great - we have a variety of types and styles coming along. This sounds very interesting.

There definitely are a lot of upcoming strategy games for the PSP. I say bring 'em on since it's a genre that has been sorely lacking. And if at least half the games are decent, it will serve as another key differentiator between the PSP and DS. Outside of Advance Wars, there's very little the DS offers strategy fans.

Only I hope it's more like "Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate" than like most current tactical turn-based affairs. I like the huge, open maps that need to be explored, not simply a multi-level, floating, gridded platform.
Boooo YAH!
