Warhammer Co-Creator Bryan Ansell Dies at 68

The galaxy of Warhammer 40,000moves at a glacial pace, with major narrative threads frozen in place for years, sometimes even decades at a time. That’s been true of one of the game’s most popular factions, the green-armored Dark Angels Space Marines, basically since they were introduced to the game in the 1980s. But in March 2023, Lion El’Jonson, the long-lost leader of the Dark Angels, returned from the dead. His reappearance in the Imperium of Mankind is now making waves inside the First Legion, as it’s known, for the first time in 10,000 years. And it could be a prelude to something even more divisive to come.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Owlcat Games’ turn-based RPG based on the beloved sci-fi universe, has received a new patch. It’s focused on bug fixes, removing potential crashes in Act 5 and other improvements, starting with Survival Instinct applying its 20 percent armor and Dodge bonus correctly if you have temporary wounds.

The Las Vegas Open is always a good source of reveals, and this year it's wheeled out an all-new Warhammer 40K Kroot army – and judging by social media, the fans are very on board.

Developer Fatshark has announced a new closed alpha test for co-op action game Warhammer: Vermintide 2, this time around to test out a brand new feature—a Versus mode. The closed alpha test is slated to happen soon; it was originally planned to go live earlier but has seen a small delay.

Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is going to be released for PS5, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, Frontier Developments has revealed. The turn based strategy title will be available on those platforms from February 20th, and has been priced at £34.99 / $44.99 / €44.99, though those who pre-order will get a 15% discount. Pre-orders will also include the Relics of Titan, which are two unique items.

In the grim darkness of the far future, you're not rewarded for being good, and many think that should be the case in games, too.

Realms of Ruin, an overly simplistic RTS that focuses on low unit count skirmishes, definitely evokes the spirit of Age of Sigmar, which is unfortunately the worst version of Warhammer. It's far more forgiving than its grandiose Old World counterpart, Total War: Warhammer, but only a fraction as satisfying or interesting to play. Clumsy movement and a baffling hands-off approach to combat consign Realms of Ruin to the ever-growing graveyard of mediocre Warhammer games.

A new Halo game is on the way — though it’s coming to tabletop instead of Xbox or PC. UK company Mantic Games will partner with 343 Industries to produce a new Halo tabletop miniatures game.

A new box set format called 'Spearhead' has been revealed for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and it's got me thinking. What if this is the fantasy equivalent to 40K's Combat Patrol? And what if a new way to play based on Combat Patrol comes with it?

While there is no shortage of video games based on Games Workshop IPs out there, it’s not often we get one that’s truly worth talking about. However, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a fantastic turn-based tactical RPG that makes amazing use of its source material while still providing an immense amount of freedom to its players. Unfortunately, it also happened to release in the same year as another RPG based on a major IP, Baldur’s Gate 3 , which outperforms it in pretty much every aspect. With that in mind, Rogue Trader might not be the best tactical RPG to come out in 2023, but it is the best Warhammer 40,000 title released last year.

Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader has an incredible secret ending you need to check out.
