Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus will be available in 2018

You’ve got a whole new experience coming, and Warhammer Community has the world exclusive reveal of it, courtesy of Games Workshop Licensing and Kasedo Games!

According to the new announcement, Warhammer 40,000 universe is getting a brand new PC exclusive title, Mechanicus. Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a turn-based tactical game which will land on PC in 2018.

While playing the game, we will be controlling an array of Adeptus Mechanicus forces for the first time ever as you lead your priests and troops on a tactical quest to salvage ancient technologies from the mysterious tombs of the planet Silva Tenebris. As Magos Dominus Faustinius of Mars, you decisions will shape the mission and have far-reaching consequences for you and your team.

The announcement trailer is here to show us Tech-Priest, Magos Dominus Reditus’ contempt for the weakness of human flesh, and his never-ending service to the Machine God.

In-game, Mechanicus will enable you to overcome these ‘human weaknesses’ to upgrade your troops with augments that will replace their human limbs with bionics and mechadendrites. These will provide mechanical and tactical advantages as you progress throughout the game.

Here are the key features:

Augment: Flesh is weak! Upgrade your Tech-Priests’ limbs with mechanical augments made from the blessed metals of the Omnissiah. Customize your team with hundreds of possibilities, creating a squad to suit your playstyle.

Difficult Decisions: Make tough decisions that will forge the future from your Ark Mechanicus, The Caestus Metalican, and send you towards alternate endings for a truly unique playthrough.

Experience the Noosphere: Use the Adeptus Mechanicus’ evolved human cognition to scan unexplored tombs for valuable data in order to gain a tactical advantage over your enemy.

The Library: A compelling story written by Black Library author Ben Counter, specifically crafted to fit the unique personality of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction.

Stay tuned!
