If you cannot catch the showcase reside, you’ll nonetheless give you the chance to watch the complete present after it’s over on IGN’s YouTube web page, identical to last year’s show.
What to Anticipate from This Yr’s Showcase
The showcase shall be jam-packed with bulletins for a bunch of video games, together with launched and unreleased Warhammer titles. The upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Area Marine 2, whose September 9 launch date is on the horizon, will possible be one in all the stars of the present. Area Marine 2 places you again in the boots of Lieutenant Titus, and final yr’s present gave us a glimpse of a few of the intense motion gameplay we are able to anticipate. This yr is shaping up to give us much more.
On the launched recreation aspect of issues, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Dealer got here out in December, making now a major time for updates or new information. The epic isometric RPG emphasised participant selections and character alignment, and it was successful with our IGN reviewer thanks to wonderful writing and fight.
With Kohli again as host, there may even be updates about Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. The retro-styled FPS, which starred Kohli as the voice of protagonist Malum Caedo, was clearly impressed by iconic shooters of the previous, with a design and artwork model that was a love letter to the ’90s. Boltgun was launched simply days earlier than final yr’s showcase, so what reveals could possibly be ready this yr?
That’s simply scratching the floor of what could possibly be featured. There must also be information and divulges for Complete Battle: Warhammer, Blood Bowl 3, Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, and extra. Plus, the Could 23 showcase solely marks the begin of Warhammer Skulls. The celebration will final one week, with particular reductions and freebies provided. That features up to 90% off Warhammer titles, in addition to new content material, DLCs, and free updates throughout a number of platforms, together with Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox.
