Necromunda: Hired Gun is single-player, fast-paced FPS set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe from indie team Streum On Studio (makers of Space Hulk: Deathwing). You play as a bounty hunter in a dystopian cityscape where gangs battle for survival in a nightmare underhive. To hunt your targets and cash in your bounties, you can upgrade your weapons, body and even your half-dog, half-robot companion.


Necromunda: Hired Gun is fast-paced and brutal, giving you endless options on how to engage your enemies. Wall-run, double-jump, use your wrist-mounted grappling hook to rush towards, disarm, or avoid enemies - and that’s before your upgrades. Everything from your brain to your legs to your pet dog can be enhanced as you gather money from your contracts. Your cyber-mastiff is your only true companion - half-dog, half-robot, and ready to kill for you in exchange for treats. He warns you of enemies, can insta-kill them with a bite to the neck, and generally watches your back. In return, you can keep him hale and healthy with the best augments money can buy.

Necromunda: Hired Gun launches this June 1st on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Pre-orders are now open at a special discount and rewards players with the exclusive “Hunter’s Bounty” which features a new look for your knife, revolver and outfit, plus a unique chew toy for your dog.

Some friends had the Necromunda tabletop game at one point. Made for a reasonable entry in such things but I did not do much of it.

Anyway curious now. Games workshop left people to crank out the warhammer properties one after the other, and the general rule of thumb was the more obscure the branding effort the worse it was probably going to be. As this then has a property that got a standalone tabletop game and enough lore type content to be fairly notable among it all I am curious, not least of all because I actually don't care about playing as a space marine or similar superhuman (though the effort from Relic on the 360 is growing on me as the years go on which somewhat surprises me).
