I was surprised to find out that it will have only couch co-op play instead of online play. I'll still get it but I was really hoping to go arcade shooting with friends online through the kroozer.

**Ozymandias**

I may have missed it, but any idea on the release date for this thing?

**CaptKaruthors**

Dude, much time will be wasted playing this. Old school hack and slashes...FTW!!!

I just wish that it could be co-op over the internets...Oh well.

Sometime in July but I don't think they've been more specific than that.

**jmurph**

Also, an expansion allowing four players would be supercool. It's one neat feature of modern systems and having big screens common- community games.

Reckon this will still cost £10 in the UK despite costing only $10 in the US. Will still get it though as it looks like a fun little game for the cost of 3 pints.

THQ does seem to be doing very well with the W40k licence. The Dawn of War games are great and I'm looking forward to Space Marine (despite not even being a SM player) and Dark Millenium.

Look like this is out on Wednesday

I'm excited!

**Revenent Reiko**

Damn i need some cash so i can get this bad boy!

**Cryonicleech**

Finally!

I was ready to kill for the actual release date, good to know it's here so soon.

I hope this is true, but honestly i doubt it. Space Marine site hasn't said anything, neither has their twitter or thq. Hell the only site that had a release date was gamefaqs and it said end of this month. I really hope my pessimism is proven wrong though, i'm super psyched for this and space marine.

**Necros**

I remember reading a few weeks ago it was supposed to be the end of the month, I think I remember July 27th or something like that

You do realize Major Nelson works for xbox live and does the videos for all the XBLA games, right? I'd say his announcements are a little more trustworthy than anything else floating around online.

As for the game, I'm not super excited about it, mainly because I don't like twin joystick shooting games, but I might pick it up to get the powersword for Space Marine.

That's reassuring I guess, it's just that space Marine and the were so tight lipped about info i doubted everything. Good to know, now I have a source for future xbox release dates. Thanks

It's funny because everything has said 'early July' and White Dwarf supposedly said it should be on your console by July 7th.

July 27th however is information for Space Marine's multiplayer.

**KOS**

SPACE MARINE is a thing, Kill Team is another!

June 27th, yeah.

And the ridiculous Xbox website has it up for June 27th still.

Still, I'm hoping it'll show tomorrow... a man can dream, can't he?

**ajefferism**

Does anyone know what time during the day Xbox Live generally puts up new games on wednesday?

I may try a little Kill Team during my lunchbreak

...

Actually, reread the Xbox website.

June 27th is when the Kill Team Announcement Trailer released. That's the only game material listed on there.

It confused me a bit at first too, but when I went back and reread it that's what I realized.

**mazik765**

For those still wondering, they've announced via their facebook page that Kill Team will be hitting XBLA tomorrow.

**Alpharius**

Any mention of when the PS3 version will be available?

**Joetaco**

xbox release confirmed by space marine twitter as well. glad i was wrong!

Nope...I've been checking IGN every couple days and they STILL don't have a release date, despite the fact it's almost half away through July

**Necros**

I've seen some other DLCs only get dates listed for xbox, but it's also released the same time for PS3.. so here's hoping

**Alpharius**

I'll have to keep an eye on the PSN Store then...

Looks like the PSN version will be released at a later date this month according to the post on facebook.
