Warhammer Skulls 2025 Video Game Showcase: What’s New in the Warhammer Universe
The Warhammer Skulls 2025 video game showcase recently graced us with tons of teasers, trailers, and announcements for all the Warhammer fans out there. From real-time strategy games to retro typing boomer shooters, the Warhammer franchise seems to be thriving in every genre imaginable. And guess what? The original 40K: Space Marine is making a comeback with a fancy 4K glow-up. So, what’s all the hype about? Let’s dive into every big announcement we got from the Warhammer Skulls event.
New Lords Pack and Pixel Art Boomer Shooter:
Summer 2025 will bring us a new Lords Pack filled with fresh units, gameplay mechanics, and even some free content. And if that’s not exciting enough, get ready for the return of the pixel art boomer shooter, Boltgun 2, hitting PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in 2026. But wait, there’s more! Before that, fans can enjoy Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun – Words of Vengeance, a free-to-play game that turns the FPS into an old-school typing experience. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, it’s something different, right?
Master Crafted Edition and Lex Imperialis DLC:
Mark your calendars for June 10 because the Master Crafted Edition of the cult classic Space Marine is making its way to Xbox Game Pass with 4K graphics, modern controls, and various improvements. And for all you Space Marine 2 lovers out there, the Lex Imperialis DLC is set to drop on June 24, offering a new 15-hour storyline campaign focused on the Adeptus Arbites faction. Sounds pretty cool, right? Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like Warhammer is really spoiling us with all these goodies.
Dark Heresy RPG and Siege Mode:
Owlcat Games, the studio behind Rogue Trader, unveiled Dark Heresy, their next role-playing game set in the Warhammer 40K universe. This party-based investigation game promises to delve into grand conspiracies and a secret war against heresy. While there’s no release date yet, we can expect Dark Heresy to hit PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC soon. And if battling wave after wave of Tyranid and Chaos sounds like your cup of tea, then Siege Mode is right up your alley. Teams of three players can earn rewards and rank up in this horde onslaught, with the added bonus of calling in Dreadnought mechs for support. Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks has also just reached its 1.0 release on Steam, offering a plethora of new items and the end of in-game microtransactions. Looks like Warhammer fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months, so buckle up and get ready for some epic battles on the horizon.
