Bandai Namco and Behaviour have today announced that they will be releasing Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade later in 2016.
Coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC from this summer, it’ll be the first time Warhammer 40,000 fans have been able to join their favourite faction in the most authentic Warhammer 40,000 battles ever.
A massive online shooter that is based on the multimillion-selling and extensive universe of Warhammer 40,000, Eternal Crusade will send you into a vicious battle between four factions of the 41st millennium in order to control a persistent world at war. With both PvP and PvE options available, squads will have to work together and engage in massive battles in order to exterminate the other factions. To do so; players can choose from twenty different sub-factions, earn hundreds of weapons, customization options and accessories drawn from 29 years of Warhammer 40,000 lore to create their perfect warrior.
“It’s an honor to work on a Warhammer 40,000 game that’s already getting great community feedback on our pre-alpha. We can’t wait to share what we’ve built with a wider audience.” – Stephen Mulrooney, SVP Behaviour Digital
“We are delighted to start a new kind of collaboration with Behaviour Interactive. Thanks to our prevailing distribution network and structure, customers from almost 100 countries will have access to Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade! Last but not least; our team here at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe is excited to work on the legendary Warhammer license.” Alberto Gonzalez Lorca, Vice-President of 3rd Parties and Southern Europe.
“We are really happy to have BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment on board as a partner to complement our collaboration with Games Workshop.” Rémi Racine, founder and CEO, Behaviour
If that’s the type of stuff which floats your boat, then the summer of 2016 can’t come soon enough.
