During the stream Warhammer Skulls 2024 which took place last night, numerous announcements were made and release dates were revealed to the delight of fans of the license, or at least what remains of it following this unbearable heresy which has upset more than one. So, we set off on a sacred crusade to sort through all this Chaos in order to offer you a little assessment.

Released last year, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a very naughty retro-FPS where he plays a Space Marine having to massacre hordes of heretics, will welcome its very first paid DLC, Forges of Corruption. Scheduled for June 18, you will be able to explore new environments, including new enemies and two new weapons. Alongside this content, a free update will bring a horde mode. Having participated in the massacre of the forces of Chaos, our Fcp expert considered Boltgun like a good release of steam, although the latter did not offer anything particularly refreshing.
If you want to spread the word of the Emperor with your boltgun in the camp of the ungodly, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is on sale at -35% on Steam until June 6, or GoG and theEpic Games Store until May 30. But the Emperor's blessing is much more profitable with the flash promotion at -43% with our partner Gamesplanetor less than €13.
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine VR: Defenders of Avarax is scheduled for October 2024 (no one has understood what the hell this game is doing there)
On NoFrag / No dedicated file at the moment
Out of nowhere and probably to take advantage of the hype around the upcoming release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2the studio LATENCY ZERO VR known to have worked on Far Cry VR: Dive Into Insanity and other games that we don't know, have the heavy task of developing Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine VR: Defenders of Avarax. In the absence of gameplay, it is difficult to say but fortunately the studio's official website has a page dedicated to the game. In addition to the fact that you play as a Space Marine, you will have to fight waves of Tyranids alone or in groups using the arsenal from the WH40K franchise. Nothing very exciting in itself, we will have to wait for new information and gameplay extracts to get a more precise idea of the game.

For now, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine VR: Defenders of Avarax does not have a page in the usual stores.

On NoFrag / Sheet Steam
Basically, we didn't care at all about it but it's even more news for hardcore skins fans. COD. Very serious competitor to the game's skins policy Fortnitethe publisher Activision had managed to convince the license holders Warhammer (which shouldn't have been difficult) to integrate into the store Warzone Beautiful WH40K skins. So you can once again look like a second-rate cosplayer. Warhammer who got lost on a battlefield in another dimension.
