Bigben, Games Workshop, and Eko Software announce Warhammer: Chaosbane, a new game set in the fantasy Warhammer universe. There are so many different videogames based on this Games Workshop property it is shocking to learn it is the first action/RPG using the setting. They will be showing this off at E3 where we should learn more, but for now all we have on this is what's found in this announcement:

Bigben, Games Workshop and Eko Software are glad to reveal the name of the next console and PC game based on the famous Warhammer license: Warhammer: Chaosbane.

The development of the title is being done by Eko Software, a French studio who has demonstrated great skill in the hack’n slash genre with How to Survive 1 and 2, a series which captivated millions of players.

This adaptation of the franchise will be the first Action-RPG to take place in the Warhammer Fantasy world. The game takes place in the Old World, a dark and bloody continent devastated by wars against Chaos.

In Warhammer: Chaosbane, the player will be plunged into the middle of Old World history as they embody a human, a high elf, a wood elf, or a dwarf and discover several iconic locations such as the cursed city of Praag, or Nuln, the old capital of the Empire.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is currently in development and will be available on console and PC.
