Games Workshop’s Skulls for the Skull Throne yearly event, which has been expanding in scope and excitement since its inception, has its announcement stream tonight. News on various games, as well as new reveals, are promised. The show begins over on Twitch at 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern.
According to the announcement post, the list of games includes Darktide, the upcoming 40k L4D-alike, and Space Marine 2, the highly anticipated third-person blaster-brawler-shooter sequel. There’s also word on updates for Total War: Warhammer III, Vermintide II, and Battlesector.
Smart money would be on a release date for Darktide, which is meant to be out this year. DLC for Warhammer III is presumably on the way, and Space Marine 2 has only had one trailer with a hint of gameplay in it. The voice of SM2’s main character, Vikings actor Clive Standen, is also going to be there.
It kicks off a week of sales on various platforms – these are usually pretty hefty discounts, so if you’ve been looking to grab games like Daemonhunters, maybe give it until this evening to see what kind of money-off you can get. We’ll update with any major announcements from the show later on.
