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.

Players will be able to get their first taste of Regicide's addictive strategy gameplay, as the team at Hammerfall apply the finishing touches to upcoming Regicide content:

  • Players can engage the Regicide mode and experience new gameplay dynamics against Hammerfall Studio's mighty Codex Artificial Intelligence Engine in the Single Player mode and do battle against online opponents across the globe in Multiplayer modes.
  • Once your blades are blooded, Classic mode features hundreds of dynamic kill and death animations between detailed characters in incredible environments. This is presented in straight-up Warhammer 40,000 combat strategy with two playable races: the iconic Space Marines and brutal Orks. Challenge human opponents across the globe in Multiplayer or challenge the AI.

Due for release every few weeks after the launch of Early Access, these upcoming content drops will inject plenty of exciting new additions into Warhammer 40,000: Regicide's gameplay. These include the full single-player campaign, new Chapters, Clans and a host of incentives, rewards and unlockables for participating in the Regicide online forums and community!

  • The Angels of Blood: Free to Early Access purchasers, the Regicide - Angels of Blood campaign will be revealed in multiple acts throughout the Early Access. The campaign opens with Guardsman Karthus and his fellow troopers garrisoned the Phaedrus Orbital Station above Hethgar Prime.
  • New Chapters and Clans: Regicide has 11 planned Chapters and Clans to fill out the Space Marine and Ork ranks by the end of the Early Access phase.

Phase 1 features the Space Marine Blood Angels and Ork Goffs, plus White Scars and Bad Moons as exclusive community rewards for those who have supported us!

Warhammer 40,000: Regicide is available on Steam Early Access for $14.99.

Regicide reinvents strategy and turn-based tactical warfare with an exciting new take on the battlefield:

  • Power up pieces, unleash psychic powers, and crush your foes through multiple phases of combat.
  • Match wits against the highly advanced Codex AI engine, or battle others PvP and score a checkmate at the end of a bloodied chainsword.

Annihilate your enemies in two distinct battle modes:

  • Regicide: Plan the attack and command your soldiers through two phases of combat. Open fire on your enemies, utilise tactical abilities and unleash psychic powers to crush your foes. Fight your way through violent single and multiplayer gameplay and destroy everything that stands between you and certain victory.
  • Classic: Sharpen your tactics in both single and multiplayer games based on traditional chess rules, executing brutally violent kills in diverse battlefield terrains. Select your race and battle it out online against opponents from all over the world or lead your army through the Space Marine Blood Angels campaign, unlocking new challenges, powers and elite units.

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

This is not just war. This is Regicide.
