After collaborating on the recently released Mordheim: City of the Damned, Focus Home Interactive, Rogue Factor, and Games Workshop are coming together to make another Warhammer game. This time, the trio is tackling the cult classic tabletop game, Necromunda with an all new turn-based Tactical RPG, Necromunda: Underhive Wars set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Here's the official description of the world via press release:
"Rival gangs of ruthless warriors are locked in an endless war for control of the Underhive, a gigantic warren of derelict factories, rusted metal husks, and forgotten technologies. Anarchy, violence, betrayal and death rule this hellish place, long forsaken by any semblance of civilization."
Rogue Factor's General Manager, Yves Bordeleau said:
"Rogue Factor’s collaboration with Focus and Games Workshop is a story of trust, hard work, and true passion for the Warhammer Universe. Our adventure began by building the foundations of Mordheim: City of the Damned Early Access. Regarded as a highly successful and well-executed endeavour, the Early Access of Mordheim: City of the Damned gathered a vast number of passionate gamers that helped foster an amazing community and improved many aspects of the game. After a strong launch on PC and consoles, and an incredible experience with many lessons learned, the way was paved for our next step in conquering the tactical RPG genre: Necromunda: Underhive Wars."
Jon Gillard, Head of Licensing at Games Workshop said:
"We are delighted to welcome Necromuda: Underhive Wars to the catalogue of great games based on our worlds and settings. Rogue Factor and Focus Home Interactive made a wonderful Mordheim: City of the Damned game and having done such a great job they're clearly the right people to realize the nightmarish world of Necromunda. Now fans of this unique and highly influential IP will at last be able to pick up their stubber and search for cool archaeotech whilst wiping out rival gangs throughout the Underhive."
There's currently no word on when the game will be ready for release or if the developers plan to put the game into Early Access. But given the fact that Rogue Factor's previous work, Mordheim: City of the Damned went the Early Access route, there's a pretty good chance that they will do the same.
