ndependent developer Fatshark today announced that they are collaborating with acclaimed Warhammer author Dan Abnett.

Fatshark is bringing their award-winning co-op gameplay to the 41st Millennium and, with the help of Dan Abnett, the developer is confident it’s bringing the best possible 40,000 experience to gamers.

Dan Abnett is well known in the Warhammer universe for his best-selling novels. He’s also renowned for his work in the comic book industry, which includes projects that have become major Hollywood movies, and for his award winning game work. For Warhammer characters, swords are often the most powerful weapons, but in Dan’s case the pen is mightier.
