Get 21 May down in your diaries for the launch of the festival and the showcase, starting at 5pm BST – that’s 6pm CEST, 9am PST.

Warhammer Skulls is our annual celebration of all the incredible video games set within the worlds of Warhammer. We’ve got loads of new reveals and announcements from some of your favourite Warhammer games, as well as a whole week of sales and discounts, so you can add to your catalogue.

Actor, writer, director and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Battle Sister herself, Alanah Pearce, is in the hosting chair for our anniversary bash.

“When the Warhammer team sent me the list of games that are going to be shown in this year’s Skulls showcase I was honestly so excited! I think fans are going to be super happy with the 10-year anniversary special, and I’m honoured to be even the tiniest part of it.”

You can expect to see news from Space Marine 2, Darktide, Rogue Trader, Dark Heresy, Boltgun 2, Warhammer Survivors, Dawn of War IV, and lots more. In fact, we have one piece of fresh-off-the-press news for you right here…

Kasedo and Bulwark Studios, the team behind Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, have announced today that the long-awaited sequel will be released with Skulls next week on PC, Xbox and PlayStation on 21 May. Take command of an Adeptus Mechanicus team as they defend their sacred technology from the Necron scourge, or – for the first time – play an entire narrative campaign as the Necron legions under Vargard Nefershah, who seeks nothing less than the complete eradication of the interlopers on her world.

You can watch the Skulls showcase live on the Warhammer Twitch and Warhammer YouTube channels from 5pm BST/9am PST/6pm CEST on Thursday, 21 May, and then check back right here on Warhammer Community for all the details. You will also be able to scoop up some serious deals from participating platforms through to 28 May.

Xbox | Windows | GOG | Steam | GeForce Now | Epic Store | Apple App Store | Playstation | Gamesplanet | Fanatical | GamersGate | Humble | Green Man

Lastly, there’s an epic competition for a mountain of Warhammer swag – from licensed merch to Warhammer miniatures of characters from announced games – and all you’ll need to do to enter is log into your MyWarhammer account before 28 May.* Easy, right?

Come and celebrate with us next week for the 10th anniversary of Warhammer Skulls. We’ll see you there!
