Back in October of last year, developer Everguild in partnership with Games Workshop announced The Horus Heresy: Legions, a card battling game for mobile that takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and specifically focuses on The Horus Heresy series of New York Times bestselling novels. It is described as “a card game where you build a deck of unstoppable Space Marines to take part in quick, brutal online duels" where you’ll “lead your Legion with warlords such as Loken, Khârn, Fulgrim and many other epic characters, as you relive the battles that tore apart the Imperium of Mankind." Today Everguild has announced that, following an Early Access beta on Android, The Horus Heresy: Legions will finally be arriving on iOS and Android later this month, on July 26th to be exact. Check out the trailer.
The press release announcing the release date describes the game further: “This collectible card game game features a single-player campaign to immerse players in the tragic events at Isstvan III where The Horus Heresy began. Players can then fight their way to the top through PvP ranked seasons, or join a warrior lodge with other players and take part together in epic Events where the winning Faction secures permanent, game-changing effects. With its rich background and legendary cast of characters, amazing art, and fast duels optimized for mobile, The Horus Heresy: Legions is bound to set the Galaxy in flames!" As someone who knows basically nothing about Warhammer, I have to say the trailer looks mighty cool. If you’re an Android folk then you can play The Horus Heresy: Legions right now via the Early Access version on Google Play, otherwise look for this one to officially drop towards the end of the month.
