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 second phase of the closed beta for Warhammer: Chaosbane will commence next week on Thursday April 18.

This second beta will include new content that was not featured in the first beta last month.

If you already have a code from the previous campaign, then your game library will update automatically on April 18. Please note that you will have to complete the first level again in order to access this new chapter. 

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.
