Games Workshop Announces New Warhammer Video Games and Remasters

Games Workshop, the renowned creator of the popular Warhammer 40K tabletop game, recently held its annual Warhammer Skulls festival. During the event, the company unveiled a slew of new video games, remasters, and DLC for its properties. Some of the most exciting announcements are highlighted below.

New Updates and Releases

Firstly, let’s discuss the upcoming updates for Space Marine 2. Although Games Workshop announced a sequel in March, stating it was "likely years away from release," the company has now confirmed that post-launch support for Space Marine 2 will continue. One of the highly anticipated features, Siege Mode, also known as horde mode, is scheduled to arrive as a free update on June 26.

In addition to the Space Marine 2 updates, Games Workshop will release Space Marine — Master Crafted Edition on June 10. This remaster of the 2011 original, developed by Relic Entertainment, features updated textures and character models, support for 4K resolutions, modernized controls, and a refreshed user interface. The Master Crafted Edition will be available on Xbox Series X/S and PC through Steam and GOG.

Remasters and Sequels

Relic Entertainment is also working on a remaster of the excellent Dawn of War. Although no exact release date has been announced, Games Workshop has confirmed that Dawn of War – Definitive Edition will feature updated visuals, camera controls, and a new HUD. The re-release will be compatible with mods for the existing game and has a 64-bit code base, ensuring it remains playable on modern systems for years to come.

For fans of boomer shooters, a new game called Boltgun is in development, scheduled for release in 2026 on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. The game will feature a new non-linear single-player campaign, new enemies, and access to new weapons.

Free Games and Upcoming Projects

In the meantime, fans can download Boltgun — Words of Vengeance, a free typing action game that challenges players to spell words and phrases from Warhammer lore. This unique game is available now.

Lastly, Owlcat, the creator of the CRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, is working on a sequel to the underrated Rogue Trader. The new game is an adaptation of Games Workshop’s Dark Heresy RPG and casts the player as the leader of an Inquisition party. With a seemingly bigger budget, this project has the potential to be a great success.
