If you’ve played any of the Dawn of War titles, this will look very familiar. Space Marines battling against Orks with tanks colliding against Stompas, and it’s not long before the Imperium of Man brings orbital lasers into the fray. Several worlds are showcased with war raging throughout the system, and suffice it to say that diplomacy might not be much of an option.

A brief look at pre-alpha in-engine gameplay highlighted the various battles taking place on a massive scale alongside the various Chapters players can control. It’s also worth noting that two more factions – Aeldari and Astra Militarum – are also included.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000 doesn’t have a release date, but it’s coming to PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
