Independent game developer Hammerfall Publishing has released the opening cinematic to the Warhammer 40,000: Regicide campaign, and announced that it will be available on Steam Early Access from May 5. Fans can get their first glimpse of the upcoming single-player campaign story in the opening cinematic below.
The video contains a mysterious transmission sent from the remote world of Hethgar Prime. The frontier world is in peril, and the feared warriors of the Space Marines are dispatched to investigate. On arrival, the Space Marines find themselves up against unexpected adversaries in the struggle to liberate Hethgar Prime and investigate the source of the ominous transmissions.
Personally I’m a huge fan of Games Workshop titles, I used to be that nerd who played the real tabletop 40k game with painted Death Angels. I loved it. So these games have huge appeal, Hammerfall Publishing looks like they are doing an excellent job and I’m excited for this game.
