I fired up Warhammer Vermintide 2 with three friends earlier this year and was pleased to find that smashing our way through the Chaos and Skaven hordes is just as satisfying as ever. Whether you’ve been back in Fatshark’s raucous co-op game recently or not, now is the perfect time to join the fight. Launching today alongside the Warhammer Skulls event, a new Warhammer Vermintide 2 update delivers the concluding act to the ongoing Verminous Dreams campaign.

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun is the perfect example of a modern boomer shooter. It looks and sounds exactly how you remember the FPS games of the ‘90s, but it plays entirely differently. Everything is as smooth as butter, and there’s a fluidity to the gorey action that makes Boltgun a total joy to get your hands on. Now, as a part of the Warhammer Skulls showcase, we’ve got huge news. Not only are we getting Warhammer 40k: Boltgun 2 next year, but a free-to-play spinoff is also available right now.

I have a love-hate relationship with life games. I’ve put countless hours into Dreamlight Valley, tried Coral Island, and am loving the new Doloc Town. Like many others, I played plenty of The Sims in my youth and became obsessed with Animal Crossing: New Horizons during the pandemic. Though I adore the relaxing nature of the simulation genre, each demands so much time that it’s hard to get into new releases. One that might be worth trying out, though, is the upcoming Starsand Island, which combines the best elements of them all. After a few hours with an early build, I think this cute life sim has what it takes to be the next big hit.

As someone that's relatively new to the franchise, Owlcat Games' Rogue Trader is perhaps my favorite Warhammer 40k game. While the chaotic gore of Space Marine 2 certainly has its charm, and the strategic action of Dawn of War will never not be iconic, as a big Baldur's Gate 3 fan and turn-based enthusiast, Rogue Trader was simply perfect for me. Hot off the heels of its last game, however, Owlcat has revealed Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy, a party-based CRPG that feels like it borrows a lot from Larian's epic and the developer's previous fantasy adventure, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. While the details are relatively thin right now, I'm beyond excited. Continue reading Following Rogue Trader, there's another Baldur's Gate 3 style Warhammer 40k game

The first new class for grimdark FPS Warhammer 40k Darktide has been announced, and it arrives in June alongside a big progression and onboarding rework for the chaotic co-op shooter. Announced as part of the Warhammer Skulls event, the Darktide Arbites class strides into battle with a cybernetically enhanced best friend and has the ability to shatter the very will of your opponents. Ahead of its arrival, a special event featuring some fan-favorite returning cosmetics is about to kick off.

Only in death does duty end. Such is the code of the sturdy, honor-bound Space Marine, devoted to protecting the Empire at all costs. One of the greatest Warhammer 40k games of recent years, if you’ve already bested all of Space Marine 2’s toughest challenges, a giant update, on its way at the end of June, will test your resolve to its limit. Siege is a completely new, three-player PvE mode that pits you against endless waves of Tyranids and Heretics. You can’t survive forever - but you can go down fighting, and take hundreds, or maybe thousands, of them with you.

With its sequel currently thriving and establishing itself as one of the best third-person shooters around, the original Warhammer 40k Space Marine has taken a bit of a back seat in people’s minds. However, the iconic 2011 game is about to stomp into your consciousness once again. Space Marine is getting a new enhanced edition complete with 4K resolution, graphics and audio upgrades, control modernizations, and so much more.

HAAA! S.E. Cupp Scolds the LEFT for Holding Jake Tapper Accountable and WOW, Was THAT Ever Dumb

While Ubisoft has already announced the title of Assassin's Creed Shadows' first premium expansion as "Claws of Awaji," it seems the DLC's release schedule is now known too.

Ever wondered what it would be like to jump into someone else’s skin, literally? In video games, body-swapping isn’t just a sci-fi fantasy. It’s a clever mechanic that flips gameplay, narrative, and strategy on its head.
