I saw the trailer yesterday too. Super excited about this.

I wonder how the gameplay and the game-world will be.

- - - Updated - - -

PS: I get super excited for anything Warhammer 40k.

 

[Desmond]

Here's a gameplay demo. It looks like a Diablo-clone similar to Torchlight, Path Of Exile, etc.

One more Warhammer 40K is in works IIRC. How many are they developing in parallel and why.

One more Warhammer 40K is in works IIRC. How many are they developing in parallel and why.

Because Warhammer 40k is a setting, not an actual game. It is a franchise owned by Games Workshop and they give licenses to those who want to make a game out of it. That is why there are many Warhammer 40k based games from many different developers. Among them, Relic makes the best 40k based games IMHO.

Warhammer 40k is actually a table-top miniature wargame. That is people create miniatures of soldiers, paint them and battle on huge table-top terrains. Here is how they play Warhammer 40k actually (yes, people still play it on the table top):



Games Workshop publishes rule books with instructions and rules of playing the tabletop game. Games Workshop also sells miniatures and publishes novels based on the Warhammer and Warhammer 40k universe.

Warhammer 40k games that I know of:

- Dawn Of War series (RTS/Tactical RPG, made by Relic)
- Space Marine (Third person shooter, made by Relic)
- Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (RTS/Tactical RPG)
- Space Hulk (Based on the board game of the same name)
- Inquisitor: Martyr (Action RPG)
- Eternal Crusade (Third person online multiplayer)

Full list: List of Games Workshop video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi

Every game mostly focuses on one aspect of the Warhammer 40k universe. Dawn Of War is centered around the Space Marines fighting the Orks, Eldar and Chaos, Battlefleet Gothic is based around the Imperial Navy and Inquisitor Martyr is based around the Inquisition.

 

[gameranand]

Okay....Thanks for that. I thought its a game franchise and why are they making so many games in parallel, coz that might mess up the story.

 

[Desmond]

Actually the universe is so large that it is possible for multiple storylines to coexist. A battle or event occuring on one end of the galaxy would have no impact on the other end. Also, Games Workshops encourages players to create their own armies and units with their own backstory and rules. As such, the Blood Ravens chapter from the Dawn Of War series are not really a canonical Space Marine chapter, but they were created for the Dawn Of War games. Relic created their design, history and backstory because there are thousands of Space Marine chapters and adding your own wouldn't make much difference.

In short, 40k is a setting where the galaxy is at constant war. As such, there are so many battles going on simultaneously that you can create your own storyline and it might still fit somehow.

 

[gameranand]

Oh well....Too much lore for me. But I have played the games and liked them very much.

Looks a lot like Path Of Exile.

New cinematic trailer

 

[gameranand]

Yeah game has left the early access as well. Its now full release, however Steam ratings are not what I expected from this game. Lets see how it pans out.

 

[Desmond]

I would have bought but the price is high. People are criticizing clunky controls.
