Games Workshop announces Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge, a new 40K card game

pcinvasion.com:

Games Workshop recently held their Warhammer Skulls livestream event. We got to see new looks at upcoming games in the Warhammer universe like Space Marine 2. One of the more interesting announcements at the event, however, was the reveal of a brand new digital card game set in the 40K universe titled Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge.

Not a whole lot is known about the game right now, as it is currently set for release in 2023. However, we can parse out some information from screenshots and what the developers themselves have said. The developer for Warpforge is Everguild, who fans of the franchise may know as the developers behind Warhammer Horus Heresy: Legions. It appears that all the big name factions from the series will be represented as we see the Imperium, Chaos, Xenos, and Orks all showing up to battle.

The press release from Everguild confirms that there will be single player content for the game, as well as draft and constructed versus modes. That’s standard for a card game, but there will also be timed-exclusive modes with unique rulesets. Which is always a fun way to keep gameplay fresh and players invested, much like Labs in Legends of Runeterra. There will also be a mode called “Alliance Wars,” which sounds like your standard guild wars that competing guilds can take place in.

We get to see a few cards in the game’s trailer, which highlight the awesome art that Games Workshop is already well known for. The cards themselves don’t have much information on them, only two stats and a row of five skulls at the bottom. This is all speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the skulls represent different levels of cards, each more powerful the more skulls they have. The number on the left in red feels like an attack
