Today during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live show, Focus Home Entertainment revealed Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground will release in 2021 fir PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Basically, it’s coming for everything with a chip that isn’t next-generation, which is fairly peculiar for a 2021 game.
Incidentally, it’s going to be a strategy game developed by Gasket Games.
You can enjoy the trailer revealed during the show below alongside a few images.
Here’s an official description.
“Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground – strategy in a dark fantasy universe of dragons, death, and daemons! Developers Gasket Games and publisher Focus Home Interactive are delighted to announce Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground, a skirmish turn-based strategy game based on Games Workshop’s dark fantasy Age of Sigmar IP due to be released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Become the commander of one of the extraordinary factions of Warhammer Age of Sigmar – a dark-fantasy universe where immortal knights ride heavenly stardrakes to eradicate Death across a multitude of realms.

Lead your highly-customisable force in this dynamic and spectacular turn-based strategy game packed with fast-paced warfare.

Explore all the routes in Storm Ground’s non-linear campaign. During each new playthrough, overcome new odds to find unique units and gears. Build your legendary army and defy other players in epic online duels.”
If you’re unfamiliar with Warhammer: Age o Sigmar, it’s the newest incarnation of the Warhammer franchise launched by Games Workshop in 2015 after basically destroying the fan-favorite Old World of the popular tabletop miniature wargame and throwing decades of lore and progression into the recycle bin.
If you’re interested in the old Warhammer setting instead (which incidentally is the only good one, at least for fantasy), there’s still the Total War: Warhammer franchise by Creative Assembly holding the torch ablaze until Games Workshop comes to its senses.
