6 days agoGames Workshop brings seven classic Warhammer games to Steam for the first time
Games Workshop has re-released older Warhammer and Warhammer 40K games on Steam, along with a Classics sale offering discounts.
Obviously the sheen really has come off Game Pass after the last few years of bungled reshuffling of tiers and outrageous price hikes, but if you can still afford the monthly sub, it's at least been a decent investment this January. Joining the 10 games that were already added so far are another seven, along with two more sneaking in at the very start of February. And it's a fantastic mix.
A quick primer for the uninitiated: Warhammer 40K imagines humanity far in the future, and one where mankind's interstellar empire is held together by duct-tape and sheer willpower, is ruled by a corpse emperor, and is besieged on all sides by terrifying aliens and ancient gods intent on destroying the universe. As the tabletop sourcebook from which Warhammer 40K derives declares, to be a human in this universe is to "live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable."
