Two years ago I wrote a dumb post listing just how many Warhammer games had been released in the past few years. That submit is now massively outdated, as a result of there are such a lot of Warhammer video games coming in 2023-24 that Video games Workshop was in a position to host their very own rattling present about it.
With E3 gone, many publishers and platform holders have determined that they’re nonetheless going to spend the subsequent month showcasing their slate of upcoming video games, they’re simply going to do it on their very own phrases and with their very own occasions. That means that we had an occasion at this time referred to as Skulls that was, I child you not, solely about Warhammer video games. And there was sufficient for a present as a result of there have been EIGHT Warhammer video games featured.
Two of them—Darktide and Whole Warfare Warhammer III—are already out and had been simply getting new content material, so that they’re a bit much less fascinating, and one other (Boltgun) only just came out, and rules, so it wasn’t actually as massive on information both.
However that also left 5 entire video games to cowl, starting from an replace on Area Marine II to new footage from Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Dealer, revealing that the CRPG will function house battles. There’s additionally a PowerWash Simulator x Warhammer 40,000 collab within the works, which shall be doing necessary work in exploring the fiction from a perspective I don’t assume I’ve ever even considered, not to mention contemplated taking part in in a online game:
Warfare within the forty first Millennium is a messy enterprise, however when you assume the troopers who combat towards the galaxy’s horrors have it unhealthy, spare a thought for the unlucky custodians who clear up after them. Think about all of the blood, ichor, and who is aware of what else left over when the Area Marines have blown via one more daemonic incursion or Tyranid invasion – you’ll want greater than a mop and bucket to get that lot off.
Maybe you need to strive an influence washer?
There was additionally some stuff for a card sport, however no matter. That left room for 2 full sport premieres. One is Velocity Freeks, a vehicular fight sport. So assume Twisted Metallic, solely with numerous Orks.
The opposite was the massive announcement for the present: Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Damage, which is described as “the primary ever AAA real-time technique sport set on this planet of Warhammer Age of Sigmar”, which is a crucial distinction to make since…we just had an incredible run of AAA real-time strategy games set in the older Warhammer universe. In the tradition of Warhammer games like Dawn of War it was announced with a very lovely CG trailer, although there received’t be a correct gameplay reveal till subsequent month:
So, yeah, lots of Warhammer! If you wish to see all of the trailers and screenshots, you can check them out at the event’s main site.
