We are glad to announce that a new free major update for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector is available from today for everyone who owns the game, introducing 3 new playable units: Royal Warden, Pyrovore and Biovore.

On top of this major update, during Skulls showcase, we have talked about the recent releases, the great plans for the future of the game and, finally, we announced the next faction that will join the battle in Battlesector.


First up is the Necron Royal Warden. These loyal lieutenants of the Necron forces ensure that their Lord’s will is carried out. They wield a potent Relic Gauss Blaster and possess enough initiative to use Adaptive Strategies to increase the effectiveness of nearby forces. They also have the power to activate Engrammatic Logic systems in other Necron troops.

And then, for the Tyranids, are the Pyrovore and the Biovore. The Pyrovore is a hulking mobile flamethrower and digestive bioform. Their dorsal mounted weapon can engulf entire squads of prey and the Burning Spray can melt away some of the strongest armour!
Contrastingly, the Biovore is a piece of living artillery that the swarm has evolved into a very different battlefield role. Carrying a brood of spore mines within its body, the Biovore hurls them across the battlefield to explode amidst their foes.


We need and want to update our Multiplayer system. Firstly, we want to increase our tournament formats. Recently, we have tested our very first knock-out tournament. Secondly, we’re planning to keep growing the number of maps available as Battlefields. Also, there’s some fantastic custom multiplayer maps that our users have uploaded which really mix things up. Our plan is to add official rankings within Battlesector. We’d like to give our community the possibility to play both in public matches for fun and in ranked games for a more focussed challenge.

The Planetary Supremacy game mode was added to Battlesector ahead of Skulls in 2022. We’ve continued to tweak and improve this mode, including adding the ability to add custom maps from the Map Builder, but we know that you guys want and deserve so much more. So, a big part of our roadmap for Battlesector is to not just tweak Planetary Supremacy but to reimagine what it is and what it can be. We really want to give you something to get your teeth into.

We know that all of our players have a lot of love for the Age of Crimson Dawn campaign that comes included with the base game of Battlesector. Whilst the custom campaign creator has enabled the community to create some cool adventures, we also know that lots of you would like to see more narrative campaigns from us. Whilst we can’t say exactly what these will be right now, we can say that they’re coming, and we really look forward to telling some amazing new stories with Battlesector!

We are very excited to announce that the next major faction for Battlesector will be Astra Militarum.

To celebrate Skulls, we are thrilled to announce our very first knock-out tournament of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The knock-out tournament will feature 32 players who will fight each other for the domain of Battlesector. Tournaments spots are limited and only the first 32 players to join, will be allowed to partecipate.
For the ones who will not manage to get in the knock-out tournament, don't worry. We will announce also a classic tournament, that will follow Swiss Tournament rules.

We will give all the info regarding the 2 tournaments really soon. Stay tuned.

Drukhari, the latest DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, is now available. After the Tyranids, Chaos Space Marines, T’au, Craftworld Aeldari, Adeptus Mechanicus and Adepta Sororitas, it’s time to conquer the forsaken planet of Gladius Prime with the new Drukhari faction.

The Drukhari are an ancient race that fell into degeneracy and depravity, with their remnants only surviving in immense Webway cities. Though they have suppressed the psychic power of their Aeldari kin, they have replaced it with preternatural agility and rapacious cruelty. Their lighting raids from the Webway carry off wealth and captives to dark Commorragh where they suffer intensely throughout their short lives…

The faction has a full new roster of units, including Archon, Razorwing Jetfighter and Voidraven Bomber, and unique abilities as Combat Drugs and Raider Fortress.
