	November 2014 marked the release of a sequel called '''Space Hulk: Ascension'''. It was originally titled "Ascension '''Edition'''", but the devs dropped that word when they realized their DLC had slowly morphed into a completely different game. The engine is almost completely rehauled, now more of a squad-based RPG rather than a dice-centered board game. The Termie roster was expanded to include the [[Space Wolves]] and [[Ultramarines]], your forces have a customizable loadout including unique weapons, perks, and even the ability to use a [[Librarian]] in your team for ''any'' mission. Similarly, Genestealers also gained the ability to use biomorphs in the same capacity. Whereas the original game merely just slapped the tabletop game into a videogame, this is now making a game both faithful and incredibly different with its new developments.

	First huge add-on: special perks and tools that make your guys a little better, make the game a little easier and generally just take the heat off you. This ranges from little things like taking longer for storm bolters to jam to huge game-breakers like Heavy Flamers with 8 shots per mission. Additionally, as ~~you~~ Terminators get kills they can level up and get stat boosts; of course, if one of them dies then everything you invested in the dead Terminator is lost but that's all the more reason to keep as many of them alive as you can.
