Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters News

Daemonhunters is here, and it's really rather good. But in a game where you're expected to tackle a galactic plague with a creaky old ship, a squabbling crew, and a mere smidge of manpower, the task at hand can seem daunting...

Ava Imperator Force Commanders,

We are releasing an update for Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters on Steam to resolve the following issues:

Missing Cinematic

• Some players are reporting a missing cinematic for the Post-Purgation Ritual. This has been fixed and the cinematic should play immediately after revealing the Warp Anomaly.

Final Reaper Battle

• A pop up has been added so that if you have no viable Grey Knights to complete this quest the game will end, as you have no way to progress.

Castellan Champion Edition

• Resolved an issue with Castellan Crowe where if you return him to Titan or your barracks are too full to accept him, you would repeatedly receive a pop up each day to add him to your roster.
  
• Resolved an issue where some players could unlock Castellan Crowe without purchasing that edition. For players that have already unlocked Garran Crowe, he will remain live on that save game only. After that you will no longer have access to him.

Pre-Order bonuses

• Resolved an issue of pre-order bonuses appearing on some accounts that did not pre-order. For players that have already unlocked this content it will remain live on that save game only. After that you will no longer have access.

If you need to report any issues please submit them here. If you need support please contact our Support Team here.

In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium a new monstrous threat looms over the galaxy. The champions of the plague god Nurgle have begun to spread a new contagion, The Bloom. This virulent plague that spreads Nurgle's influence across worlds and mutates planets into manifestations of his twisted image. It falls on you, the newly appointed Force Commander of the Grey Knights aboard the Baleful Edict Strike Cruiser, to take up arms and strike down the heresy before it spreads out of control.

Lead humanity’s greatest weapon, the Grey Knights, against the corrupting forces of Nurgle in this brutal and fast-paced turn-based tactical RPG. Out now!


SHAPE THE FATE OF THE GALAXY
Upgrade your base of operations, build new facilities, conduct research into arcane mysteries and engage in combat missions across multiple worlds to purge the spread. The Bloom corrupts without prejudice; your choices will affect which planets succumb… and survive.


FORGE YOUR CHAMPIONS
Command your own, personalised squad of Grey Knights; learn a range of diverse skills and psychic abilities, unlock powerful equipment and specialise your champions into four unique standard and advanced classes. Each of your warriors can be customised with voice, armour and facial options to make them your own.


PRECISION TARGETING
Grey Knights are an elite chapter of Space Marines and are not in the business of making mistakes or missing their shots. The Precision Targeting system puts you in control of your tactical decisions, allowing you to plan your strategy with confidence, whether by taking shots from afar with sure-fire accuracy, or dismembering and dismantling a foe in brutal melee combat!


MUTATING MONSTROSITIES AND THEIR MINIONS
As the Bloom corrupts worlds, environments will evolve and erupt with deadly hazards and minions, cultists and the infamous Death Guard Chaos Space Marines will mutate with pestilent boons and blessings, giving them new attacks and abilities. Adapt your tried and tested strategies to overcome unsurmountable odds against towering foes and their servants.


CINEMATIC SLAUGHTER
Charge headlong into fast-paced tactical combat. Eviscerate and execute enemies up close in gory displays of prowess, or strike from afar with blessed bullets and powerful psychic energies. Use the dynamically destructible environment to your advantage by tearing down pillars or slamming vehicles into unsuspecting enemies.


FEATURING LEGENDARY ACTOR ANDY SERKIS
Heed the call of Vardan Kai, a Grand Master of the Grey Knights and voiced by legendary BAFTA award winning actor Andy Serkis.


WRITTEN BY BLACK LIBRARY AUTHOR AARON DEMBSKI-BOWDEN

Armoured in faith, shielded by devotion, the Grey Knights’ very existence is rooted in mystery, enforced with mind-wipes and executions. Experience war in the 41st millennium and follow the journey of these elite warriors in a narrative penned by acclaimed Black Library author, Aaron Dembski-Bowden.

Grand Master Kai looms over my crew via hologram like an enraged Greek cybergod. It's our bimonthly report and he's not happy. Our onboard Inquisitor's desire to procure knowledge about the Nurgle plague has inadvertently accelerated its spread, and he wants to know who's responsible. Do I cover up for Inquisitor Vakir and piss off Brother Ectar, revered captain of the Grey Knights Space Marine Chapter, or do I throw the brash Inquisitor under the bus? Whatever I do, someone will be unhappy, and that will have knock-on effects...

I've never been one for playing aggressively in turn-based tactics games. I will hug and skulk between half and full height walls like nobody's business, creeping up the map inch by inch lest one of my precious party members accidentally sets off an entire warren of alien nasties by blundering too far ahead or, heaven forbid, one of them gets nicked by a stray bit of shrapnel. To say I'm overprotective is an understatement.

Thankfully, the Grey Knights in Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters are made of sterner stuff. I mean, just look at these brutes. They're enormous. Even the Gears Of War lads would be jealous of the kind of muscle these big robo boys are packing, I'm telling you now. They're by no means invincible, of course, but they can hold their own out of cover, and pick themselves back up again when your best laid plans inevitably start going down the drain. It may not be my most natural style of tactical manoeuvring, but man alive is it liberating.
