Pixel Hero Games has announced that its Warhammer 40,000 adaptation of Dan Abnett’s ‘Xenos book - Eisenhorn: XENOS - will be released for PC via Steam on 19th May, 2016.
Eisenhorn: XENOS is an action adventure that follows the journey of Gregor Eisenhorn (voiced by British actor Mark Strong), an inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos – Alien hunters of the Imperium - on his quest to hunt down an ancient tome of evil origin. Following from the book’s storyline and set in a dystopian, fantasy universe, players must use stealth, psychic powers and a vast array of weapons to fight their way through an 11-hour single player campaign.
“We are tremendously excited to be working with Games Workshop on such a unique project,” said Pixel Hero Games Studio Head Nader Alikhani. “Adapting the incredibly rich source material of ‘Xenos’ into a compelling adventure game, and allowing players to experience the inner workings of the Imperium of man through Eisenhorn’s fabled eyes is an opportunity I’m sure no fan will want to miss.”

“The Pixel Hero Games team is a talented outfit, and matching their skill with the story and characters of this much loved and best-selling book will create a unique and characterful experience,” said Games Workshops Head of Licensing, Jon Gillard. “They’ve captured the look and feel of the Xenos novel wonderfully, and this distinctive take will allow players to interact with the Warhammer 40,000 universe in ways not seen before.”
The Standard PC version is priced at $24.99/£18.99/€22.99 when it launches via Steam on 19th May. A ‘Deluxe Edition’ featuring a copy of the soundtrack, and a specially made digital art book will be available for $34.99/£26.99/€31.99.
We haven’t had a chance to check out Dan Abnett’s series of Eisenhorn books, but this video game adaptation certainly looks interesting, even if it’s only a single-player experience. I’m a little worried about the combat though, judging by the gameplay trailer. One to keep an eye on next month?
