Developers are discovering what a “game ready” world the Warhammer 40,000 playset is, and they’re churning out games with the Warhammer 40k badge on it. This upcoming game – called “Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade” – will put you in a mech, first time it’s ever been done on a Warhammer 40k game. We have the trailer here, but we already know you’ll be hooked when we said you get to control a mech.
That’s right, Freeblade will put gamers in mechanized suits of armor and allow them to destroy, well, pretty much everything, if we were to base it from the trailer (see below). This is the first time a game will put players in the control seat of an Imperial Knight, the 40K universe’s massive one-person mech. Click on the trailer below.
The game is basically a shooter, and you tap to shoot. The skill is needed in choosing the right weapon for the right situation, as well as tap accuracy, of course. “Players take control of their Imperial Knight’s weapon system as their mech tears through the environment. This is not another normal shooter; this is where Panzer Dragoon meets Walker in the Warhammer 40,000 universe,” says Andy Wafer, co-founder of Pixel Toys.
There is no specific date for the game as of now, but it already looks like something we want to try. The developers are saying we can expect it sometime this fall. That’s pretty close, so it means this game should be ready for primetime soon.
