The trailer is pretty quick but it sets the stage for some pretty impressive events. Specifically, it looks like this game will be following the events of the Gathering Storm. The trailer lays it all out there, from the crashing of a Blackstone Fortress, to the death knell of what is probably Cadia, to the Yncarne, to Guilliman…it’s all in the trailer. At least we get to see it all rendered in awesome detail.
But that’s not all…
We also get a preview of what’s next on the horizon:
Regardless of how you feel about the previous iteration (currently sitting at Mixed in it’s reviews on Steam), it’s cool to see the cinematic of these space battles. Nothing quite like watching massive star ships blasting each other to smithereens! Also…NECRONS AND NIDS!!!!
Here’s the full announcement from Focus Home Interactive:
