Alongside the reveals on the Warhammer Day 2023 occasion, we bought information of the Warhammer The Previous World Launch date…
We bought our first have a look at Bretonnia on the occasion, but it surely was the reveal of the 2024 “early” launch date that took the occasion by storm. Crucially, we all know it will likely be the “first main launch” of the yr, so seemingly in late January. We have been promised extra data earlier than the tip of the yr, alongside what military will launch alongside Bretonnia and we suspect what the launch field appears like.
From what we have heard and seen to this point, it appears like GW are going huge on the Previous World, as they give the impression of being to recapture followers who left the passion after Warhammer Fantasy was killed off. Whereas Age of Sigmar has been an enormous hit, it is clearly a distant second behind Warhammer 40k. Now, how these three video games can dwell side-by-side-by-side stays to be seen, with GW additionally making it clear AoS and Previous World will not share kits. In actual fact, the current Cities of Sigmar set was a sign that the plan could be very a lot to maintain the 2 video games separate. Although, we suspect many (together with myself) will simply proxy the Cities of Sigmar into the Previous World in a method or one other.
