Warhammer Skulls, the Ultimate Festival of Warhammer video games comes to the Green Man Gaming store this week with a whole host of discounts alongside new content releasing for several Warhammer titles.
Huge Warhammer fan, actor Rahul Kohli, returned as host for the second year in a row, with the Skulls Showcase kicking off an exciting week of world premieres, announcements and content reveals for Warhammer fans. Alongside the celebration, players can expect huge deals and discounts on the Green Man Gaming Store with up to 90% off savings during the event.
The Warhammer Showcase brought a whole host of surprises with it this year which if you missed you can check out on the Warhammer Twitch channel.
The first of those surprises was the newly announced Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, the sequel to the much-loved original boasting a unique new feature that will let you play as the ancient Necrons as well as the Adeptus Mechanicus this time around. Much like its predecessor, Mechanicus 2 promises to be a high-intensity turn-based strategy game that’ll have you second-guessing your every move as you try to fight for the Imperium—or against it. Mechanicus 2 is coming soon to the Green Man Gaming store.
There were also not one, but two! Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 trailers with the highly anticipated game showing off a 3-player co-op campaign mode, Operations PVE mode and the return of the beloved online multiplayer in 6v6 Eternal War mode.
The online multiplayer mode will feature up to 6v6-player action, and you can play as Chaos Space Marines or the Adeptus Astartes across six modes, including Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture & Control. Alongside that, a cooperative PvE mode allows players to work in teams of up to three Space Marines. If that announcement has got you excited, Space Marine 2 will be coming soon to the Green Man Gaming Store.
The Warhammer Skulls Festival also brought with it a slew of other game updates including the new Forges of Corruption DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, the first-ever DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, which will be titled Void Shadows, and the new Necromantic Horror Faction for Blood Bowl 3. Furthermore, the next Legendary Hero Lord for Total War: Warhammer III was announced, which will be Karanak, the Hound of Vengeance, and will be available for free, coming soon.
Hopefully, that has you all hyped for a great week of Warhammer gaming. You can check out all these games and more on our new Warhammer Franchise page right now! The Warhammer Skulls Sale runs from May 24, until May 30.
