Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge, a new digital trading card game set in the Warhammer universe, was announced at the Warhammer Skulls 2022 event today. The free-to-play card fighter is set to launch for Steam on PC in 2023, and then come to Android and iOS with full cross-platform support.
The game is being developed by Horus Heresy: Legions studio Everguild, another mobile digital card game based on the origins of the Warhammer 40,000 universe in the 31st millennium.
Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge will take place during the 41st millennium and offer several playable factions in short form to collect and fight. Some of the factions include Chaos and Xenos races at launch, and there will be “regular” expansions that will bring more armies and characters.
It will feature several single-player campaigns that follow each of the factions along with drafts and constructed forms of competition. According to the game’s description on Steam, players will also be able to “arm yourself with allies and take part in massive alliance wars that will test even the skills of the most seasoned veterans.”
A short trailer accompanied the announcement showing some of the races and an extremely short showing of gameplay footage in a pre-alpha phase below.
Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge was not the only recently announced game at the Warhammer Skulls 2022 event. Other titles announced during the event include Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a retro shooter game designed after DOOM, and the classic RPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, developed by Pathfinder developer Owlcat Games.
