Warhammer is everywhere: it's one of those franchises that knows how to utilize transmedia most effectively, going beyond figures and tactical combat. The sheer number of video games available is truly enormous, and there's something for every Warhammer player to enjoy.Almost literally, this was exemplified during a presentation that took place yesterday, where the all new Warhammer video game was introduced.
First, an announcement. There were very few new video game announcements, but a lot of DLC, collaborations, and expansionsThat might not sound as exciting as the carousel of new games being announced, but it's still very intriguing.
The first announcement, and probably the most exciting one for most people, is the crossover between Call of Duty and Warhammer 40K. Space Marines, Battle Sisters, Astra Militarum Skins and More Coming to Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 The dates have not yet been announced.
This announcement was followed by a series of new content announcements for existing games, including the Demolition Pack for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War. Contains 11 new units spread across all existing factionsTotal War: Warhammer 3 introduced a new legendary hero, Karanach the Dog of Vengeance, while also introducing new DLC, Thrones of Decay.
Meanwhile, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader introduced its first DLC, Void Shadow. Includes a new complete story and several charactersWarhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr introduced a DLC with a new class, the Hierophant, while Warhammer 40,000: Darktide introduced the next update, Secrets of the Machine God, which will see players explore the Mechanicus research station.
For a change of pace, they showed off two trailers for two previously announced games: Warhammer Combat Cards; Battle with cards that replicate Warhammer 40K figuresMeanwhile, Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freaks is a free-to-play 8v8 racing game that pits orcs against each other in impossible races.
They then returned to presenting new content for games that have already been released, this time a strategy game: Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge introduced a new faction, Adepta Sororitas, which will be released on May 23. Warhammer The Horus Heresy: Legions is another card game. Special Wolves Coming June 21 with New Cards, Mechanics, and MoreWarhammer 40,000: Tacticus will include a new update, “Machines of War,” which will make a sixth unit available, while Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector has announced a new update with three new units, as well as future DLC that will include the Astra Militarum.
Moving into the realm of action, there have been two very interesting content updates: Warhammer Vermintide 2 will include in-game events; An update called Skulls for the Skull Throne was released on May 23rd.Additionally, a new Versus mode will be added on May 30. Meanwhile, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun will release DLC called “Forges of Corruption” on June 18, which will add an expansion pack and a new Horde mode.
In any case, the two big announcements were made at the beginning and end of the event, which began with a new trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and ended with Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, the second part of the popular strategy game. Warhammer 40,000 is deliciously satisfying.
