Online Warhammer Game in the Pipeline

An upcoming Warhammer game the fruit of a new collaboration between Nexon and Games Workshop.

The Asian video game giant Nexon and Games Workshop are joining forces on a new game based on Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. This successor to the popular tabletop battle game has been in development since 2015 and so far has seen very few titles based on it. Among the few are Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall and Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground. Nexon's game is supposed to be a co-op battle game with a vivid and interactive world.

"As one of the world’s largest game publishers, Nexon is the ideal long-term strategic partner to bring Warhammer Age of Sigmar to life in a unique new way that will appeal to gamers the world over. Nexon’s world-class Live Operations and infrastructure offers exciting opportunities for engaging current and new Warhammer fans in this massive universe."

Unfortunately, we don't know many details about the game itself. The creators promise that the virtual world created on Age of Sigmar's system will offer a lot of player interaction with the environment and real-time events. Players will learn the history of their characters, develop them and join groups, exploring new lands. There are many indications that it may be an MMORPG, but the developers describe it as a "PvE Multiplayer RPG Virtual World".

The game will be released on PC and consoles, as well as iOS and Android. No release date or title have been revealed yet.
