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 is now open. After a much-loved first beta phase during which the players gave the team a mountain of feedback, the beta’s second phase is now open for all players who pre-ordered the game (Standard, Magnus, or Digital Deluxe versions).

This second phase will take place from April 18th to the 24th on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.

Content of the beta’s second phase:

• Playable campaign: the first three missions of Act 2 taking place in Praag as well as Act 1, which takes place in a Nuln that has been improved and reworked using the feedback the players provided during the first beta phase.
• Two new playable characters join the Imperial soldier and the High-Elf mage: the Dwarf slayer and the Wood-Elf archer.
• Maximum level: 25
• Cooperative mode with up to four players locally or online in order to test the synergy between the four classes

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.
