It’s this time of the year – Warhammer Skulls 2025 is here! For the Emperor!

This time around, we bring a variety of awesome news. So sit back, relax, and see what we prepared!

Apart from all the discounts you can expect on the Warhammer catalog, we decided to do something close to our hearts. The GOG Preservation Program expands once more!
Five Warhammer classics we’ve co-published, and that you won’t find anywhere else, are now preserved in their best form:
Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate
Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000
Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War
Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat
Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior
These games defined an era – it was about time they received the full GOG Preservation Program treatment! But that’s not all.
With the Warhammer Skulls 2025 event live on GOG, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War is now on a GIVEAWAY: fully updated, LAN-ready, complete with manuals, and yours to keep forever!
Warhammer is a universe so vast it spills across genres and generations – from grimdark sci-fi to high fantasy, from tabletop to tactics, from single-player campaigns to skirmish-scale gems.
It has shaped player identities, inspired modders, spawned books, art, animation, and unparalleled lore. It’s not just a franchise. It’s a world that gives meaning. And it deserves to be preserved.
Oh, and if you're still reading and haven’t rushed off to fight for the Emperor yet… Sanctus Reach and Armageddon also recently became GOG exclusives. We highly recommend adding them to your library and keeping them safe!

To top it off, we have some great gems soon to join the GOG catalog:
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - Lex Imperialis
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition

Enjoy Warhammer Skulls 2025!

tremere110: The Battlesector DLC was confirmed on Discord as having been sent to Gog already. They don't know why it's not available here yet. The Gog store is out of their hands.
Should be included with the 3GB patch from yesterday(?):

Yes, the dlc is actually there but the purchase to unlock it isn't available yet, which is the issue - same with Gladius. Not sure what Gog is doing.
Also something i noticed it too, since i use Nuked SC-55 to replace the windows gs midi, the soundtrack feels off in SOTHR

The DLCs for Battlesector and Gladius are now up.
a bit off topic question :

Will these be free for the owners of the original games ?

Thx :)
high rated
What I missed in the description of the Definitive Edition for "Dawn of War" is the restoration of the LAN mode. This would be something "definitive".

It also looks like the Definitive Edition is a separate thing. In the worst case the issues with Dark Crusade won't get fixed in the original version and possible bug fixes are locked behind the remastered version. The current version of Dawn of War - Dark Crusade has a broken campaign mode where you have crashes in the Stronghold missions and the "Commander" button causes a crash to desktop. You can see several threads about this issue:

So, here is shadow of the horned rat running on shader glass using one of koko aio's megabezel presets, due to the game's forced widescreen and non scaleable windowed mode, it has problems but this screenshot is just to demonstrate.
if GoG team manages to make this SOTHR run in higher res while keeping aspect ratio and also making the WinG GDI calls be translated to directX, on which peixoto and others did for another winG game that is HOMM 1-2-3, it will do wonders for this game.

Final Liberation is doing great now all is left is this one.

No new releases? Disappointing.
There's a nice discount for Space Marine in newsletter, but I guess no point in buying it now since original will be included with a remaster. I already played it, so it would be mostly for collection anyway.

Now I wonder if DoW 2 is next in line...
IIRC, Rites of War was offered as a giveaway a few years ago. Felt so sorry for having missed it back in the day!
Haven't seen GOG repeat giveaways so far. But needless to say, it is always satisfying to complete your collection!
I am a huge Chaos Gate fan (although did not finish it 20 years ago) and the soundtrack still moves me!

P.S.: Fire Warrior was never considered a "janky game" by the gaming press, but yes it was far from stellar.
