MjolnirX - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is due out September 6th (in North America), but will not ship with a co-op component. Instead, THQ will later release co-op as DLC, titled "Exterminatus". It won't arrive until early October, but at least it will be free. Unlike certain Capcom games, whose names we will not mention.
There will be two new scenarios, Assault on Hab Center Andreas and Escape From Kalkys Facility, that your four-man, three-class group can blast their way through. Your experience will count towards your multiplayer ranks as well.

About Space Marine
When wave after wave of savage ORKS descend upon the Forge World GRAIA, it is up to humanity's greatest warriors to win the planet back.
They are SPACE MARINES, genetically modified, encased in hallowed armor, the equivalent of one hundred lesser men. They live only to defend the Imperium, and to slay its enemies in a war that never ends.
CAPTAIN TITUS, along with his comrades LEANDROS and SIDONUS, lead a detachment of these Space Marines onto the Forge World. There, they quickly discover that the fight against the Orks is not all that requires their attention. An Imperial Inquisitor named DROGAN needs help securing an experimental POWER SOURCE, before the Orks do so themselves.
