If you regularly visit us here at TZC then you’ve no doubt heard of Warhammer: Chaosbane, an action hack ‘n’ slash rpg game set in the Games Workshop world of Warhammer. Well, with the release imminent, and by imminent, I mean tomorrow 31st May, they’ve released a new trailer that delves more deeply into the storyline and the history of Warhammer: ChaosBane.
If you can’t
access the video this is the storyline.
“In an age of lawlessness and despair The Empire of Man lay in ruins,
torn asunder by civil war and wracked by famine and plague. And so it was, in
the year 2301, that a Kurgan warlord named Asavar Kul united the savage tribes
of the Chaos Wastes and made war upon the realms of men. The invaders entered
the distant northern kingdom of Kislev and sacked its largest city, Praag. But
in the Empire’s darkest hour, a nobleman from the south named Magnus rallied
the people of the Empire to resist the invaders. The Imperial army marched to
the rescue of the Kislevite capital fighting Kul’s army in a massive battle
outside the city walls. Joined by mighty heroes from all across the land,
Magnus defeated Kul in single combat, and the Chaos horde was scattered to the
winds. Blessed by the gods and heralded as the true Emperor, Magnus returned to
Nuln in triumph. But even as the Old World celebrated Magnus’s victory the Dark
Gods were planning their revenge.”
If you can watch, and enjoy the trailer, what you were watching was the work of Ankama, an animation company in the Nord department of France known especially for Dofus and Wakfu.
Warhammer: Chaosbane will be available on PlayStation 4,
Xbox One, and PC starting June 4th, 2019 and beginning May 31st for owners of
the Magnus Edition and Digital Deluxe versions of the game.
