Warhammer Skulls 2026 marked the 10th anniversary of the annual Warhammer video games showcase, and there’s a lot to cover. Games Workshop packed the event with new game reveals, release dates, DLCs, and collaborations spanning Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and Total War: Warhammer. Here’s a rundown of everything announced.
Kicking things off is Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch, a sequel to Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters. Players take on the role of Interrogator Bastian Rath leading an Inquisitorial team against seven enemy xenos factions in turn-based battles, with nine classes ranging from Inquisition agents to Space Marines. The game is coming to PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster was also revealed. It’s a 2D stealth/action platformer that puts players in the role of a Skaven assassin climbing the ranks. It’s coming to PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC in 2027.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II launched today on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC. The sequel features the Tech-Priests of Mars facing off against the Necrons, and players can also take on a Necron narrative campaign for the first time. The Leagues of Votann are also involved. An expanded Omnissiah Edition adds a digital artbook, the original soundtrack, and a legacy soundtrack DLC with 10 new tracks from composer Guillaume David.
