In the grim darkness of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, there is nothing but war. And that war will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PC later this year.
Announced by those at Slitherine and Black Lab Games, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is a new turn-based strategy affair that is – quite obviously – set in the iconic Games Workshop sci-fi universe. Due to release on PC in May 2021, with an Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PS4 drop due later in the summer, if you’re a Warhammer fan, this is going to tick a whole ton of boxes.

With Slitherine previously behind the likes of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach and Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, and Black Lab Games coming from the Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and Starhammer aspects, development of Battlesector should come as a walk in the park.
When it does drop, you’ll get to experience every bone-rattling explosion and soul-crushing charge in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, as the definitive battle scale turn-based strategy game takes you to the battlefields of the 41st Millenium. From there you’ll be found picking your force, developing your army as you see fit, fielding mighty heroes and fighting for outright victory using superior strategy, awesome abilities, and devastating weaponry, all as each move rolls out, turn by turn on grid-based maps.
Features include:
- Age of Crimson Dawn – Experience an epic twenty mission single-player campaign that explores the aftermath of the Devastation of Baal. Help Sergeant Carleon and his allies purge the Tyranid infestation on Baal Secundus, and preserve the honour of the noble Blood Angels.
- Skirmish Mode – Fight across the surface of Baal on maps of your choosing and select either the Blood Angels or the Tyranids in the Skirmish mode. Completely customize your army list by picking your units, heroes and their loadouts.
- Forge Your Armies – Command iconic units like the Sanguinary Priest, the Librarian Dreadnought, and the Hive Tyrant to annihilate your foes. Use over 60 abilities and 50 weapons to orchestrate your opponent’s bloody demise.
- Face Your Friends On The Battlefield – With live and asynchronous multiplayer, and hotseat modes available, there’s no excuse not to take your friends to war. Asynchronous multiplayer will be only available on PC.
