Looking forward to any of the classic WH/WH40K games once again not getting their long overdue re-releases on GOG.

The year-after-year blue balling is getting rather tiresome indeed.

In case of no classic re-releases (again), maybe something recent, like the Inquisitor aRPGs (which are playable offline since one of the latest updates) or Underhive Wars will finally get the DRM-free treatment. Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters would be an excellent addition to the catalogue as well.

As for announcements/reveals/premieres the release date for the second Rogue Trader expansion is probably most likely, as is a look at gameplay from the Mechanicus sequel.

I'd love to see Total War Warhammer and Space Marine 2 on Gog. Not holding my breath for any of those though.

Looking forward to the next Battlesector faction - probably Eldar.

Any point to bringing Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr (and Definitive Edition) if only the single-player came? Assuming Neocore doesn't want to bother porting the multiplayer.

Daemonhunters was published by Frontier Foundry who love their DRM.

A Dark Heresy cRPG is rumoured to be up next for Owlcat.

Apparently the file name for the countdown picture was originally WHDH_Skulls_3_days_left_, which more or less confirms the Dark Heresy setting rumour.

Signs that we will have a Warhammer promo on thursday .

Two discount offers popped up in the newsletter .

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Anniversary Edition (-90%) -> € 3.00
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (-85%) -> € 5.29

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy

https://darkheresy.owlcat.games/

"About the Game

Embrace the role of an Inquisitor in a grimdark cRPG set in the Warhammer 40K universe. Investigate heresy, command a diverse warband, and shape the fate of the Imperium in a story-rich experience where every decision has weight. Be the conduit of the Emperor’s will in a place where all hope was lost decades ago, justice is ruthless, and the line between salvation and damnation is razor-thin. Explore the mysteries of maddening Tyrant Star and overcome the worst horrors thrown at you by the Long Night.

Gameplay
UNCOVER THE TRUTH, NO MATTER THE COST

Your duty is to investigate heresy deep within the Calixis Sector. Your craft is to expose corruption in the dark places no one else dares to look, to be the final defence of Humanity in the face of annihilation. Uncover nefarious plots, interrogate suspects, and piece together conspiracies in a deep investigative system. The only question is, how far are you willing to walk the path of damnation in the name of salvation? Explore an in-depth depiction of the Inquisition as an organisation and the vast force it commands: its power, bureaucracy, and inner conflicts laid bare like never before."


Warhammer games join the GOG Preservation Program

"The GOG Preservation Program expands once more – into the grim darkness of the far future (and the Old World too)

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

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."

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Words of Vengeance

"Type like your life depends on it in Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance!

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Words of Vengeance is a creative twist on epic boomer shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Instead of mowing down your enemies with elite FPS skills, kill the relentless hordes of enemies that descend upon you by typing out words.

Obliterate your enemies by quickly typing their death sentences but beware as one typo could spell your own demise."


Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 - Allegiances Unknown

"...a thrilling first glimpse of a new planetary conflict between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the ancient Necron dynasty, in gripping tactical skirmishes across visually diverse and richly detailed battlefields – each teeming with opportunities for strategic domination.

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: Battlesector Free Major Update + Deeds of the Fallen Story Campaign

The Black Legion has also been confirmed as the next faction.

Never thought I'd see the day the space dwarfs would be featured in a WH40K game, very nice.
Now to see if the sequel turns up over here in a more timely manner than the first one this time around.

Would be great for the Boltgun typing shooter (typer?) to show up here as well.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun II

"Following directly on from the end of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, your duty takes you to new locations in a branching, single-player campaign that effortlessly blends the grimdark Warhammer 40:000 universe with a fast-paced first-person shooter.

Developed by Auroch Digital and published by Big Fan, a Devolver Digital publishing label, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is the action-packed sequel to retro FPS Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun."
