Dawn of War IV finally got the release date fans have been waiting for, Chaos Gate \u2013 Daemonhunters got a sequel announcement, the Skaven have a game all to themselves, Armageddon is coming to Total War: Warhammer 40,000, and there was even the surprise announcement of a Warhammer 40,000 crossover with Helldivers 2.<\/p>\n
Read on for all the new game announcements, updates, and trailers fresh from Warhammer Skulls 2026!<\/p>\n
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV<\/p>\n
Dawn of War IV was at the heart of the big Warhammer Skulls announcements this year. We got a September 17, 2026 release date for the hotly anticipated RTS game. But we also got a full roadmap for the game\u2019s first nine or so months of post-launch updates and DLC, which includes the return of Crusade Mode, the Mission Editor, new Commanders for Last Stand mode, and two paid DLCs: the Blood Ravens story prologue that returns to their ancestral homeworld of Aurelia, and the Aftermath Campaign Expansion, which adds a fifth playable faction to the four launch factions (Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and Adeptus Mechanicus).<\/p>\n
We’ve got a big interview with King Art Games to run through all the Dawn of War IV news from Warhammer Skulls<\/a>, if you want to dig deeper.<\/p>\n Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate \u2013 Deathwatch<\/p>\n Warhammer Skulls brought with it the announcement of Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate \u2013 Deathwatch<\/a>, the sequel to the well-received Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Gate \u2013 Daemonhunters. It\u2019s developed by Complex Games and published by Frontier, and is due out on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n As the name of the game suggests, you command a Deathwatch Kill Team in the turn-based adventure. But you also get agents of the Inquisition and Astra Militarum to add to your squad as you fight back against a number of xenos factions, including the Tyranids, Orks, and Tau. The debut trailer is below, showing off the Redemptor Dreadnought, Scout Sentinel, and Leman Russ tank.<\/p>\n Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster <\/p>\n Dotemu announced Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster, a new single-player 2D action platformer coming to PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2027. This one\u2019s interesting because it lets you play as a Skaven assassin. The debut trailer is below.<\/p>\n Total War: Warhammer 40,000<\/p>\n Creative Assembly\u2019s promising Total War: Warhammer 40,000 made a brief appearance at Warhammer Skulls to confirm Armageddon, the setting of the 11th Edition of the tabletop wargame, is in the game. The teaser, below, features none other than Commander Yarrick himself, setting the scene for Armageddon\u2019s eternally war-torn battlefields.<\/p>\n Helldivers 2<\/p>\n It\u2019s finally here! The Warhammer 40,000 crossover fans have been calling for ever since Helldivers 2\u2019s explosive launch is a reality<\/a>. This is something the developers at Arrowhead are often asked about in interviews (I asked them a few times myself!), given how perfect a fit Warhammer 40,000 is for Helldivers 2. We have no real details yet, but it\u2019s easy to imagine the soldiers of the Imperial Guard taking the fight to the Automatons and the Terminids. Expect Helldivers 2\u2019s Warhammer 40,000 Warbond later this year.<\/p>\n Warhammer 40,000: Darktide<\/p>\n As developer Fatshark had teased, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is getting the new Skitarii class, lifted from the Adeptus Mechanicus faction. It hits the game on June 23, 2026 priced $11.99. Check out the new trailer, below.<\/p>\n Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2<\/p>\n
