Warhammer Skulls 2025 revealed a number of new items, new games, new updates, and more tied to the iconic tabletop franchise

Games Workshop, in partnership with several other developers, revealed a ton of new items for several Warhammer properties during the 2025 Warhammer Skulls livestream. We got several updates for gamnes already out ranging from new updates and free content to paid DLC. We also got new game announcements like Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 and Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000. We have the full rundown and the video above as this year was a bevy of awesome content for Warhammer fans everywhere.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition

The Definitive Edition includes all the Dawn of War and Standalone Expansion content: four classic Dawn of War Campaigns, nine Armies, and over 200 Maps, all in one game. The game will feature 4K support, upscaled textures (4x the originals), and image-based lighting for a higher level of fidelity while retaining the classic experience. World lighting, unit reflections, and shadows have all been improved, and new unit gloss and emissive lighting will faithfully enhance the moment-to-moment action. An improved gameplay camera will show the battlefield like never before, and the HUD and screen layout have been optimized for widescreen viewing. It has also been upgraded to a 64-bit platform to support the ongoing efforts of the modding community and will be compatible with over 20 years of lovingly crafted community mods.

Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000

An epic addition to the Supremacy brand, known for its challenging, free to play, long-term strategy games that can last days, weeks or even months. Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000 is set in the grim darkness of the far future, where players will be able to take command of iconic factions including Space Marines, Orks, the Astra Militarum and Chaos Space Marines at launch. Players can pre-register now on IOS and Android to get notified when the battle begins!

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 –  Free "Siege" Mode

Fight against impossible odds in Space Marine 2's upcoming Siege Mode, a new PvE experience available for free to all players on June 26. Set on Kadaku, this new three-player game mode lets you take down ever-deadlier waves of Tyranid and Chaos forces in the defense of an Imperial fortress. Prepare to hold your ground and survive as long as you can against endless enemies, as only in death does duty end. For our dedicated community, Siege Mode will be playable on the Public Test Server (PC/Steam) starting June 4. More details about the mode are coming in the next Community Update.

On top of the new Siege Mode, the Patch 8 update also comes with two new DLCs for Ultra Edition, Gold Edition, and Season Pass holders. The White Scars Chapter Pack will include a new Champion skin for the Assault class; three exclusive White Scars–inspired weapon skins for the Occulus Bolt Carbine, Stalker Bolt Rifle, and Combat Knife; and a host of cosmetic options and heraldry markings for their Successor Chapters. The Blood Angels Cosmetic Pack will provide a number of new armor pieces to be equipped on any of the game's playable classes, in addition to heraldry markings celebrating eight of the Blood Angels' Successor Chapters.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II – New Gameplay Trailer

From the forbidding and labyrinthine underworld of the Necron tombs to the highly industrial, techno-religious forge cities of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the trailer showcases a wide range of new environments players will contest in their quest for dominion and discovery across two playable campaigns. The trailer also reintroduces familiar faces. Magos Dominus Faustinius' trusted advisors return, this time as deployable and upgradeable leaders of his skirmish forces. Each brings their own unique personality and battlefield specialisation, adding a new strategic layer to your command.

As well as familiar faces, players will encounter the Leagues of Votann for the first time in a Warhammer video game. Their purpose on the contested world of Hekateus IV remains unknown. Are they fellow seekers of knowledge, mercenaries in search of profit, or something far more dangerous? Their presence raises questions, and their loyalty is anything but guaranteed.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy

Step into the shadows as an acolyte of the Inquisition in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, a second narrative-driven tactical RPG set in the beloved grimdark universe. Set against the backdrop of the Noctis Aeterna and the mystery of the Tyrant Star, players will lead a warband of diverse companions in a desperate battle against heresy and corruption, from loyal Imperial subjects, such as a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan, to nefarious xenos, including a bird-like Kroot mercenary. With intricate investigations, a turn-based combat system, and choices that carry grave consequences, Dark Heresy is an atmospheric dive into the brutality and mysticism of one of the Imperium's most feared organizations. The game greatly expands on the ideas introduced in Rogue Trader and features fully voiced dialogues.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – Lex Imperialis

Lex Imperialis is the second major expansion for Warhammer 40,00: Rogue Trader. Thrusting players into the iron grip of Imperial Law, this DLC features a new 15-hour storyline that introduces the Adeptus Arbites, a faction of incorruptible enforcers, and a new companion—the grim and relentless Solomorne Anthar. With battle Familiars like cybernetic eagles and cyber-mastiffs, this DLC deeply enriches the gameplay and narrative layers of Rogue Trader.

Also announced is Season Pass 2 for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, bundling two new expansions and an appearance customization pack. The third major addition to the game will allow players to enter a Necron vault curated by the iconic Trazyn the Infinite, challenge ancient guardians, and uncover relics tied to the Von Valancius legacy. The fourth one will let them explore the Processional of the Damned — a surreal voidship graveyard, in a descent into madness and mystery. Each DLC will feature a new companion character, new quests deeply integrated into the main storyline, new mechanics, and deliver around 15 hours of gameplay. Players who pre-purchase the new Season Pass will receive an exclusive Appearance Pack. This includes new hairstyles and augmenting implants that become instantly available for customizing their Lord Captain.

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus – Adeptus Custodes

The battlelines tremble as the Adeptus Custodes, golden sentinels of the Imperium, descend upon the battlefield. With unmatched skill and divine purpose, they purge the heretic, the xenos, and the traitor alike. Leading this glorious charge is none other than Shield-Captain Trajann Valoris, arriving later this month in a new Legendary event. On May 24th, Tacticus unveils its latest Survival Event, a brutal gauntlet forged in war, where only the relentless endure. Those with the unbreakable resolve of the Adeptus Custodes may claw their way through the carnage and emerge victorious, unlocking the might of Trajann Valoris. He is a living bulwark of the Emperor's wrath. Now is the time to return to the front. Whether you are a battle-scarred veteran or a lapsed servant of the Throne, the war calls once more.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide – Arbites DLC

The Adeptus Arbites enforce the Lex Imperialis, the Emperor's Law. Utterly unforgiving, they pursue heretics and traitors with relentless precision. As an Arbitrator, players will deliver the Emperor's justice with zealous discipline, supported by brutal new weaponry and a cybernetic companion.
