Last year Bigben interactive and Games Workshop signed a partnership for the development of a consoles and PC game based on the renowned Warhammer Fantasy Battles IP, tasking EKO Software (known for How to Survive 1 en 2) with the development job.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is a new action RPG hack'n slash game in the Warhammer Fantasy world, taking place in the Old World, a dark and bloody continent devastated by the wars against Chaos.

In Warhammer: Chaosbane, the player will be plunged into the middle of Old World history as they embody a human, a high elf, a wood elf, or a dwarf and discover several iconic locations such as the cursed city of Praag, or Nuln, the old capital of the Empire.

Warhammer: Chaosbane offers a unique game mechanic, which can be activated by all 4 playable characters: by massacring the Chaos hordes, heroes can charge their Bloodlust meter. Once it's full, the player can unleash their rage and activate new ultra-powerful skills. Thanks to his prayers to Hoeth, the Elven god of knowledge and learning, Elontir has access to powerful spells using a unique skill tree.

Bigben and Eko Software are pleased to announce that the first phase of the closed beta for Warhammer: Chaosbane is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam. It will end on March 13th at 1am PST. Content available in the first beta phase:

• Playable campaign: Act 1 – The sewers of Nuln, infested by Nurgle demons
• 2 available classes: the Imperial soldier and the High-Elf mage
• Maximum level cap: 20
• Local and online co-op with up to 4 players

Both beta phases are accessible to all players who pre-ordered the game (Standard version, Magnus Edition, or Digital Deluxe). Pre-orders remain available during the beta phases in digital stores and participating retailers.

Dive into the heart of the Warhammer story, become a hero and battle to survive the desolation.

Warhammer: Chaosbane will be available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC starting June 4th, 2019 and beginning May 31st for owners of the Magnus Edition.
