Long-Awaited Warhammer 40,000 Animation Astartes 2 Is Back From the Dead With Incredible Teaser Trailer — but There’s a Catch

Video games Workshop has introduced missing-in-action Warhammer 40,000 animation Astartes 2 again from the useless with an unbelievable teaser trailer that has wowed followers of the pastime. Nonetheless, there’s a catch: nothing in the teaser will probably be in the new animation.

Astartes 2 is Video games Workshop’s follow-up to the fan-made unique Astartes animation, created by Syama Pedersen. It’s broadly accepted as the best Warhammer 40,000 animation ever made, official or unofficial, solely maybe bettered by Amazon’s lately launched and glorious Area Marine 2 animation for the Secret Degree anthology sequence.

Certainly, Astartes was so good that it impressed Saber Interactive’s massively profitable Area Marine 2, and Video games Workshop finally introduced Syama in-house to work on the sequel.

But followers hadn’t heard a peep out of Video games Workshop on Astartes 2 for years, main some to wonder if the firm had quietly cancelled it. Quick ahead to in the present day, January 29, and the shock reveal of the teaser trailer, which is a feast for Warhammer 40,000 followers.

The teaser suggests an animation on a scale never-before-seen from Warhammer 40,000 at this high quality stage, with melee fight, capturing, automobile fight, and even spaceship battles all showcased. We see a variety of totally different Area Marine chapters in battle throughout diverse environments, and a number of enemy races, together with Tyranids, Orks, and Tau.

It actually hypes up Astartes 2, but it seems nothing in the teaser will probably be in the animation itself when it lastly launches in 2026 completely on Video games Workshop’s subscription-only Warhammer+ streamer. In response to a publish on the Warhammer Community web site:

“This teaser trailer isn’t really clips from the new animation, as an alternative exhibiting a compilation of photographs that characterize the former lives of the characters that may seem in the present. There’s a fairly unsubtle trace at the finish as to the nature of the ultimate story… We’ll go away you to take a position and begin placing the items collectively yourselves.”

So, whereas the teaser is actually cool, that’s all it truly is for now. We nonetheless haven’t seen something of Astartes 2, and the lack of a disclaimer on the trailer most likely gained’t do it any favors in the long run. A fan who catches this teaser would fairly count on what it reveals to look in Astartes 2; most gained’t see the Warhammer Group publish.

Nonetheless, it’s laborious to not get excited as a fan and speculate about what all of it means. It appears to be like like the characters in the trailer find yourself in an Inquisition-led Deathwatch Terminator squad, based mostly on the ultimate picture. But that’s about all I’ve managed to glean from it up to now.

In the meantime, I’ve already seen Area Marine 2 followers look jealously upon the Astartes 2 teaser and hope for some or all of it to make its method throughout to the recreation. Capes are an early shout. Saber is continuous to replace the recreation, so maybe it’s time for the builders to take some inspiration from Astartes as soon as once more.
