Warhammer Skulls Event Reveals Three New Games

Warhammer Skulls Event Reveals Three New Games

, , , 0

Games Workshop held its annual Warhammer Skulls event today and revealed many dew details about the future of Warhammer. The largest bits of info were the reveals of three brand-new Warhammer video games, each from a separate genre. First off, a Warhammer RPG is on the way from Owlcat Games, the makers of Pathfinder. The game will be called Rogue Trader and it will be set from an overhead three-quarters perspective, with turn-based combat and four team members: the Rogue Trader mentioned in the title, a Space Wolf, a Sister of Battle and an Aeldari Ranger. Rouge Trader will be out at an unspecified time. The other two were given 2023 release windows, so we must assume this one won’t be finished until later than that. Why no one thought to marry the oldschool, beefy, violent shoot-em-up genre with Warhammer until now is beyond us, but here it finally is: Warhammer 40k Boltgun, an FPS in the spirit of Doom whre you’re handed a Boltgun and told to just go

Warhammer Skulls Showcase Returns This June

Warhammer Skulls Showcase Returns This June

Games Workshop has a lot of Warhammer-related announcements they’ve been holding back on, in anticipation of releasing them all at one event: the Warhammer Skulls Showcase. The press event will return this June for its sixth year. Here’s what we can expect: GW has confirmed new trailers and behind-the-scenes videos for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will be released. Upcoming content for Total War: Warhammer III, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will also be revealed. Most of these things will be unveiled during the Announcement Showcase, scheduled for June 1 at 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern. Keep twitch.tv/warhammer bookmarked because that’ll be the place to see it. Hosting the event will be Clive Standen, voice actor of Titus in Space Marine 2. Once the showcase ends, the celebration continues for about a week, as most popular Warhammer titles will be discounted…or possibly updated. Games Workshop is implying some surprise day-of-announcement updates are coming, though they wouldn’t specify which games are getting them.

Warhammer has launched its Skulls Festival, devoted to all things under its banner. To kick things off, a boatload of new information regarding upcoming Warhammer games and DLC content for existing ones was released. Total War: Warhammer II will be releasing its final DLC pack, The Silence and the Fury, in July. After this the long-awaited Total War III will finally be in sight. It’s targeted for a late 2021 release and preorders are open now on Steam and the Epic Games Store. We got a new trailer this morning, showing off the world of Khorne: Kislev is set to face off against the four Chaos Gods as the Old World descends further towards calamity. We know that Katarina, the Ice Queen, will be commanding the faithful of Ursun in battle, but who else is putting their general’s cap on? That’s right, Skarbrand is here to harvest a frankly ludicrous number of skulls for his master, Khorne. As one of his god’s most powerful daemons, and a living embodiment of

Meet The Man Behind The Warhammer Chaosbane Music

Last June Warhammer Chaosbane launched for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC. The man who composed the soundtrack for that game was Chance Thomas, a professional whose resume includes games like DOTA 2, The Lord of the Rings Online and King Kong. Warhammer Chaosbane was his most recent project, and in this new video, Thomas reveals the secrets to his composition process. “I try to totally immerse myself in that world, in that fiction,” said Thomas. “It’s almost like a method actor — what would I really feel like if my family was being threatened by the Chaos horde?  And to the degree that I get in touch with the emotions that I think I would really feel in that world, then I start to have musical ideas present themselves in my mind.” Thomas is currently cooking up the score to the Tomb Kings expansion, set to release later this year. It will be an entirely new story, told through a new act separate from the main campaign and taking

Marvel announced today they’re entered a partnership with the British tabletop company Gaming Workshop to bring their iconic property Warhammer into the realm of paneled entertainment. Comic books in layman’s terms. THR scooped the story. Said comics are now in production and should hit store shelves sometime in 2020. Warhammer is approaching forty years on this planet, having begun back in 1983 as the tabletop minature game “Warhammer Fantasy Battle.” The size of its scope has expanded considerably since then. “I can’t tell you how excited we are about diving into the depths of the expansive universes of Warhammer,” says Marvel editor Mark Basso. “At Marvel, we’re no strangers to telling deeply character-focused tales set in an interconnected world of stories, and fans are going to love what we’re already starting to cook up with the Games Workshop team for the Warhammer comics.” It’s hardly the first time the Warhammer universe has been rendered in other media; since its inception there have been Warhammer novels, video games, audio books and yes,

Warhammer Chaosbane is almost upon us! In a matter of days the action-RPG will launch on consoles and PC — a bit earlier if you shelled out for the Super Duper Calafragilistic Collectors Limited Edition Thing. But publisher Bigben and developer Eko Software want you to know that the end of the game isn’t really the END of the game. They have their DLC plans all roadmapped out, and today they shared it all with us. Endgame: Once the main quest is finished, the player will be able to restart with a new character while keeping everything they’ve previously unlocked: crafting, fragments, money, etc. Additionally, finishing the game will unlock different endgame modes: Expedition mode: the best way to start a fast game, alone or with friends, in randomly-generated levels. Relic hunt: the player may purchase a map from the Collector’s Guild in order to get access to a dungeon which offers several difficulty levels and lets players collect heroic gear. Boss Rush: lets you confront the campaign bosses as

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions (Switch) Review

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions (Switch) Review

, 0

The Warhammer universe is very expansive and covers many different genres both in video games and outside it. But one of the more interesting things that it did was make its way into the CCG genre, and now, a digital version of that has come to Nintendo Switch in the form of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions. To be honest up front, this is card game made for Warhammer fans by Warhammer fans via Games Workshop. I’ve only had loose connections to the Warhammer franchise over the years, so for me it wasn’t as in-depth as it could’ve been. But that being said, I did learn what to do in this game fairly easily. Props to the team for having a very detailed tutorial to start off the game, because without it I would’ve been lost. The basic principles are easy to understand. You have a deck based on one of four factions from the Warhammer universe titled Order, Chaos, Death, and Destruction. In those decks are four “Champions” that have

PlayFusion and Games Workshop have announced that the digital version of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions will arrive on Nintendo Switch April 16. The cool thing about the Switch version of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Champions is that your physical card deck is compatible with it. You can actually scan your real-world cards into your collection and use them in the video game version. If you don’t have any physical cards, the Switch game offers plenty of them. But the Switch version offers something that neither the physical nor any other pre-existing Warhammer video game does: a new single-player adventure called Realm Trials. PlayFusion boasts that this new quest contains dozens of hours of gameplay. There’s also a new mode, Arena of Echoes, that introduces a new way to battle: Drafting decks from 2 given alliances, players will craft their own from a random selection of cards and battle through a series of League rounds to gain entry to the prize Gauntlet. Be careful not to lose, else you drop
