Every year we see Games Workshop hold an event to celebrate everything Warhammer 40,000. We see some updates on games and even some new announcements and in 2025 we saw plenty of both. Truth be told this may have just been the biggest Warhammer showcase yet.
Warhammer Skulls 2025 featured a whopping 40 minutes dedicated to Warhammer video games. Games Workshop has teamed with many developers and publishers over the years to pump these games out. The Warhammer IP almost feels like a modern Tom Clancy franchise in that sense.
With that said there is a lot to get to here so let's not waste anymore time.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy
The show starts with a brand new game! Owlcat Games is returning to the franchise for another role-playing game. They previously put out Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (more on this later) and with Dark Heresy players will be in charge of an Inquisition acolyte.
Dark Heresy is said to be narrative driven as you lead investigations, uncover grand conspiracies, master tactical combat, and wage a secret war against heresy.
Dark Heresy will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PlayStation 5 though no date was given.
Rogue Trader Next Expansion Coming Next Month
Speaking of Owlcat Games, their other Warhammer game, Rogue Trader, which released in 2023 is getting its second major expansion soon. The expansion is titled Lex Imperialis and is dropping on June 24th. The new expansion is said to be about 15 hours long and features a new companion, Familiars, and an entirely new faction: the Adeptus Arbites.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available on Xbox Series X/SS, Xbox One, Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. It’s also included in Xbox Game Pass.
Total War: Warhammer 3 New DLC Teased
The long running, popular Total War: Warhammer series got a quick little tease about some new DLC. The DLC, titled Tides Of Torment will be coming later in the summer of 2025.
While not much was shown here beyond the fact that this DLC exists there will be a stream tomorrow at 10:00am EST on the Total War YouTube channel that will show more of the games second faction.
Malum Caedo Returns For Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2
Yet another new game was revealed today, this time a sequel to the popular Boltgun game. Developer Auroch Digital is taking the helm once again as players will step back into the shoes of Ultramarine Malum Caedo. The first-person shooter will be a direct sequel to the first with the story picking up right where Boltgun left off.
Boltgun 2 is slated to launch on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC at some point in 2026.
Paid DLC Class Coming To Darktide
Warhammer 40,000: Darktides has proven to be quite popular since it landed in Xbox Game Pass. Now the game will get its first new paid class since its release with the Arbites coming on June 23rd.
The Arbites will be able to call upon and command a Cyber-Mastiff as they enforce the Imperial law of Lex Imperialis. The Arbites will also have a wide variety of new weapons, many of which will be great for crowd control.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is available right now on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PlayStation 5. It’s also included in Xbox Game Pass.
Final Update Coming To Vermintide 2
The last update for Vermintide 2 has arrived for free today. The Well Of Dreams update ends the Verminous Dreams adventure as players are tasked to find the mysterious elven Temple of Athel Lithri. As well as the new content today’s update will bring plenty of improvements to the game.
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is currently available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It is also available on Xbox Game Pass.
Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000 Announced For Mobile & PC
In a bit of a surprise, Twin Harbour Interactive announced Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000, a new strategy title set in the Warhammer world being created for mobile. It is being described as a “long-term, multiplayer strategy experience set in the iconic Warhammer 40,000 universe"”where tactics, domination, war pacts or betrayal decide the fate of the planet”
While it is being built for mobile devices it will also come to PC. No release date was given for the title.
Mechanicus 2 Gets New Trailer
The Warhammer game that is currently scheduled to release later in 2025 showed up to the party to show off a new trailer. Kasedo Games & Bulwark Studios showed off the latest trailer that shows us the Leagues of Votann.
What their role is in this turn-based game remains unclear, but it adds yet another layer to the interesting story within Mechanicus. This is the first time the Leagues of Votann has shown up in a video game. Why are they here and who’s side are they on? We will have to wait to find out.
Mechanicus 2 is scheduled to launch on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PlayStation 5 at some point in 2025.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Getting Remastered Treatment
One of the Warhammer franchises most memorable and classic games is getting the remastered treatment. Relic Entertainment is bringing Dawn of War up to speed on modern PCs with the definitive edition. Dawn Of War: Definitive Edition is the ultimate Dawn of War experience, featuring the original Dawn of War and all its expansions, along with enhanced visuals, an improved camera, and 64-bit platform support. The game is scheduled for sometime in 2025.
Space Marine 2 Siege Mode Teased
In a free update coming next month, Space Marine 2 will see its own version of the popular horde mode with a new Siege mode. As if Space Marine 2 didn’t already feel like Gears of War as it is, the new mode made popular by the iconic Gears will see players fend of waves of enemies.
Space Marine Also Getting Remastered
In perhaps the biggest news of the day, they did save it until the end after all, Titus’s original voyage is being remastered for PC and Xbox Series consoles. The remastered version includes reworked audio, better textures, 4K graphics, and more making it the absolute best way to experience Space Marine.
It’s a little surprising that if they were going to do this, they didn’t do it before the release of Space Marine 2. Perhaps they just didn’t realize how big the the Space Marine IP is. Space Marine 2 has gone on to sell 6 million copies in just a few months and has been one of the bigger success stories of 2024.
It should also be noted that the first Space Marine game was published by Sega where as Space Marine 2 was made by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Interactive.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Master Crafted Edition is coming to Xbox and PC on June 10, 2025. It’ll also be available day one in Xbox Game Pass. While there is currently no mention of PlayStation we wouldn’t be shocked to see it added in the coming days.
