Warhammer 40K Games News and Features
From the war-torn battlefields of Ultramar, a new call to arms emerges. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 has been announced, and if the previous two entries in the series are anything to go by, expect blood, bolters, and the relentless wrath of the Emperor’s chosen. A decade ago, the original Space Marine put players in the ceramite boots of Captain Titus, hacking through the hordes of Chaos and Orks in an adrenaline-fueled third-person slaughterfest. In 2024, Space Marine 2 escalated...
Fatshark isn’t holding back. Darktide’s first major update of 2025, Nightmares and Visions, lands soon, and the biggest changes are reserved for the Ogryns. The developers have torn down and rebuilt the abhuman behemoths, giving them more versatility than ever before. No longer just meat shields with clubs, the Ogryns are getting a redesigned skill tree, reworked weapons, and a greater emphasis on tactical variety. It’s a fundamental shift. And for some, maybe an unsettling one. What is Darktide? For...
The Warhammer 40,000 (WH40K) universe has been a reliable wellspring for video game adaptations for decades. With its deep lore, distinct factions, and bleak, battle-worn setting, it offers a rare canvas for developers to paint stories of warfare, betrayal, and survival. But since the release of Space Marine 2 in 2024, the once-steady march of new WH40K games has all but ground to a halt. With only Mechanicus II announced as in development, fans are left wondering—what happened to the...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was a juggernaut. With over 4.5 million copies sold within a month of launch, it’s no wonder Games Workshop (GW) is hunting for its next big video game win. The company’s latest financial report reveals licensing revenue shot up from £12.1 million to £30.1 million in 2023/2024, largely driven by Space Marine 2. With 98% of that income coming from PC and console games, GW’s appetite for digital success is clearer than ever. The Grimdark...
Warhammer videogames have had a… complicated history. For every Dawn of War or Total War: Warhammer, there’s been a Fire Warrior, a Storm of Vengeance, or some half-baked mobile cash grab that makes you wonder if Games Workshop even checks what their name gets slapped on. But 2024 saw a shift. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 wasn’t just good, it was a bonafide hit, pulling in 4.5 million players a month after launch and proving that, when done right, Warhammer...
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 continues to conquer the grim darkness of the far future and our gaming consoles.

Not resting on their laurels, they’ve announced Patch 5.0, which drops in this month, packed with new content, performance upgrades, and a cosmetic DLC that will have Dark Angels fans sharpening their chainswords in anticipation. This milestone cements Space Marine 2 as a...
Praise the Omnissiah and brace yourselves, servants of the Machine God! Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus 2, the unexpected sequel to the stellar 2018 strategy hit, has risen from the digital tombs. Announced during the Skulls showcase, this sequel promises to expand on the original’s grimdark tactical brilliance while flipping the narrative in a way sure to delight fans of the Necrons’ cold, calculating malice. For those who recall the original Mechanicus, it was a tactical treasure. The game thrust you into...
