The Warhammer Skulls showcase came back for its 10th year this week and delivered a deluge of Warhammer video game news.
The headline announcements include the reveal of a Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters sequel 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 instalment with a refined class system and a wide array of customization options.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar fans are also getting a rare new game with Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster. It's a 2D platformer which has you creeping around as a Skaven assassin, as is due to drop on PC, Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2 next year.
For those that don't want to have 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 original game's story, it features a new narrative campaign that lets you play as the evil Necrons.
There were also plenty of reveals of new content for existing games. PlayStation published sci-fi horde shooter Helldivers 2 is getting a Warhammer 40,000 collab later this year, while Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is getting a new Skitarii character DLC.
Of course, the mega-popular Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 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 loadouts before you deploy.
All of this new content is free, though season pass 2 owners also get access to the new Iron Hands Chapter Pack DLC.
If all that wasn't enough, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius is getting a new DLC and is 100% off on PC gaming platform Steam in a limited-time offer that lasts until the end of the week!
