I think it’s pretty fair to say that we’ve had a torrent, a deluge, a cataclysm of Warhammer games on the App Store in recent years, and while some were quite good, overall they haven’t really done the franchise too many favors. And the news coming out today probably won’t please most Warhammer fans. Games Workshop and Artcode Interactive are going to develop an endless runner based on the Warhammer 40K universe. According to Artcode CEO, Richard Sirohi, Warhammer 40K vehicles are so “enticing" that it made sense to simply design a game around them rather than focus on the humanoids of the universe.

The studio is excited to bring all those war bikes, war buggies, tanks, and other war vehicles to mobile, and truth be told, Warhammer 40K does have some amazing vehicles. I don’t know how fun the game will end up being, but at least the developers have found an aspect of the universe that hasn’t really been brought to mobile, and that’s a good thing. We have no release date yet, but I don’t think the game will be too far into the future.
