'Warhammer 40,000: Regicide' Early Access Update Adds New Content - Screens & Trailer

Set in the classic Warhammer 40,000 universe from Games Workshop, Regicide weaves rich lore with strategic gameplay in a series of action-packed battles for dystopian glory.

Warhammer 40k: Regicide is a new take on one of the most established strategy games of all time, evoking the grim setting of the iconic Warhammer 40,000 universe and hearkening to the roots of traditional gaming. Regicide fuses brutal action with turn-based tactical combat in the war-torn dark future of Warhammer 40,000.

Warhammer 40k: Regicide showcases a tactical, single-player Blood Angels campaign. It also features a cross-platform multiplayer experience. Go to war anytime, anywhere against opponents worldwide as traditional gaming meets highly detailed production.

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide has received an Early Access content update, adding new environments, two new factions, hotseat, and live Multiplayer features.

The addition of the “Raven Guard” Space Marines and “Snakebites” Ork Clan provides a ‘black and white’ set of pieces for both races currently in the game, alongside the White Scars and Goffs available at launch.

Hotseat mode - local multiplayer on the same machine - has been implemented alongside many general UI updates.

The heavy-hitting heroes of Warhammer 40,000: Regicide have seen updated animations for many sequence-effects with a wide range of sparks, blood and impacts now keyed to objective sources. Almost a hundred new or improved sound effects provide an additional crunch to the visual update.

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide’s game servers have also been completely overhauled to facilitate live  multiplayer matches. Asynchronous play options remain available for custom challenges against friends.

New multiplayer functionality allow players to:

  • choose their starting board side
  • easily challenge friends to quick battles, directly from their Friends list
  • claim victory when opponents leave (forfeit) Live matches

This is only the beginning. The universe spans untold galaxies to conquer.

This is not just war. This is Regicide.
