The Warhammer Skulls showcase returned for its 10th year this week and delivered a deluge of Warhammer video game news.
The headline messages include the disclosure of a Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters successor called Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S.
Developed by Complex Games, it builds on the strategy gameplay of the previous installment with a refined class system and a wide range of customization options.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans also get a rare new game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster. It’s a 2D platformer that will have you crawling around like a Skaven assassin, which is set to release on PC, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 next year.
For those who don’t want to wait, tactical RPG sequel Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus 2 launched on the day of the event for PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S and PC. In addition to continuing the story of the original game, it features a new narrative campaign that lets you play as the evil Necrons.
There were also plenty of new content reveals for existing games. PlayStation released sci-fi horde shooter Helldivers 2 getting a Warhammer 40,000 collaboration later this year, while Warhammer 40,000: Darktide gets a new Skitarii character DLC.
Of course the mega-popular Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 got a huge new update to celebrate the event. It adds a new operations mode mission, a new sidearm, three new heroic weapons, six new armor pieces, and even a practice arena zone on the battle barge that lets you test your loads before deploying.
All of this new content is free, though Season Pass 2 owners will also get access to the new Iron Hands Chapter Pack DLC.
If all that wasn’t enough, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius gets a new DLC and is 100% off on the PC gaming platform Steam in a limited-time offer that lasts until the end of the week!
