A free-to-play digital card game set in the 41st millennium, Warpforge will bring together all the major factions of the Warhammer 40,000 universe as digital cards for players to collect and do battle with in brutal and fast-paced skirmishes.From the makers of The Horus Heresy: Legions, get ready for a genre-defining CCG with fast, strategic gameplay, innovative game modes, awesome art and a deep love for Warhammer 40,000 showing through in every detail!
In Warpforge, players will immerse themselves in the lore of Warhammer 40,000 through single-player campaigns exploring each of the warring factions. They will then fight in draft and constructed competitive modes, in both regular play and time-limited competitions with unique rules of engagement. Committed players will be able to take part in massive alliance wars, which will test the mettle of even the most seasoned veterans.
From the resolute armies of the Imperium to the corrupted forces of Chaos and the myriad Xenos races, each faction will feature very different play styles and tactics. Several of the best-known factions will feature upon launch, with regular expansions bringing in more armies, races and characters to do battle with.
The new demo will allow players to take control of six different factions including the Leviathan Hive Fleet, only for the duration of Warhammer Skulls, the annual Games Workshop video games festival, from May 25th until 1st June.
The Tyranids are one of the most unique factions in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, driven by an insatiable hunger and ready to devour everything in their path. These hordes of voracious aliens seek to absorb all living matter, allowing players to spawn new creatures and swarm their prey, the Tyranids are sure to keep opponents on their toes.
In addition, a closed alpha phase will begin on June 8th. This alpha period will allow a select group of players to test out the game before its full release and provide valuable feedback to the development team. A limited number of invites will be sent out each day to those who pre-register for it through Warpfoge’s website with priority given to those who take part in the Skulls demo.
The progress from this alpha period will not be carried over once the game is fully released, but all participants will receive an exclusive commemorative card back!
