Warhammer Skulls 2024 Reveals Multiple New Video Games

Games Workshop held their annual Warhammer Skulls livestream, as we have several new announcements and updates for the franchise.

Games Workshop held its annual Warhammer Skulls 2024 livestream, in which several new games were revealed along with new updates. The event was hosted by Rahul Kohli (The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, Death and Other Details) as the eighth annual showcase had some exciting new announcements from several studios both for video games and tabletop titles. These included a sequel to Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, the reveal of Talisman 5th Digital Edition, and the latest edition of the physical board game. We have the full breakdown of everything revealed today for you below and the livestream above.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II

Fast-paced tactical combat meets strategic management in this sequel to the acclaimed Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Take control of either the ancient and deathless Necron legions or the techno-religious acolytes of the Omnissiah, with the fate of a world in your hands. After millennia of slumber, Vargard Nefershah mobilizes her dynasty's legions to annihilate the Adeptus Mechanicus interlopers who unknowingly settled upon her world. Across the galaxy, Magos Dominus Faustinius is summoned to bring his hard-won expertise to bear and ensure the Necrons do not succeed. The conflict soon becomes a crucible of unanticipated significance, drawing to it external actors stranger and more deadly still. Two playable factions, two narrative campaigns, two highly unique playstyles and one important choice – who will you lead to victory in this arcane technological war of cold metal hatred?

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – Void Shadows

Void Shadows is the first DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, offering a massive amount of content with about 15 hours of gameplay and a new romanceable companion, all fully integrated into the game's main story. The DLC allows the players to personally delve into the depths of their voidship in an enthralling story that will pit them against an entirely new enemy who is trying to bring ruin to the von Valancius dynasty from the inside.

• A new story — Enjoy 15 hours of tense, new adventures on board the voidship with unexpected threats, various quests, two new archetypes with unique abilities, and new lore content, all fully integrated into the main campaign.
• А new companion — Gain the loyalty (and possibly love) of Kibellah, a Death Cult Assassin ready to pledge her life in service of the von Valancius dynasty just as her predecessors did for generations before her. This new companion will have romance options as part of the new story.
• New crew members — Interact with high-level officers integral to the player's voidship operation. These new crew members play a significant role in the new story.
• А new looming threat — Arising from within the deepest and darkest bowels of the player's very own voidship is the malignant Genestealer Cult – a horrific breed of xenos who work from the shadows and infect your crew with their genetic code to convert them and slowly twist their loyalties for their wretched goals.
• New locations to explore — New quests mean new nooks and crannies hidden around the voidship where no Lord Captain has explored before, until now.
• New feature of the voidship — Upgrade your voidship with a new hangar, able to launch groups of fighters and bombers to succeed in desperate, massive space battles or even bigger threats.
