Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe will be the next intellectual property mined for the over-crowded MOBA genre.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena will blend twin-stick shooting with MOBA mechanics.

Set on the Wych planets of Commorragh, "Veteran warriors hailing from the Space Marine, Ork, and Tau armies battle in bloody conflict to the death."

The game is the debut title from Whitebox Interactive, a Vancouver studio that opened its doors last year. The developer has very few assets to share as yet, but it has already opened a store where players pre-order Early Access in packages that range from US$25 to US$250.

Early Access is planned for the second quarter of 2015. Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena is targeting a 2016 release.
