[h2]The Emperor Protects![/h2]

It is time to change up how you play our Action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr. The reason is simple: this month you will be able to experience the entire game from a new perspective, with new tools and a stronger faith in the Emperor.



We’re proud to announce that a new class DLC is coming on November 28 on Steam, the Sororitas Class. As the name implies, this new Inquisitor comes with a Sisters of Battle background, bringing much needed support and a new approach to combat to the Inquisition.

Sororitas are known for their strong, unwavering faith, and this will translate into a new gameplay mechanic as well. Her Acts of Faith are unique empowering abilities, and she can even transform into an Embodied Saint to employ immensely powerful special attacks. In this state the player can cast Saintly Deeds until their Faith – a class-exclusive resource – depletes.



The Sororitas Inquisitor will wield new sanctified Imperial weaponry and armour, the loadout will depend on the three new subclasses – Sister Celestian, Sister Dominion and Sister Seraphim.

With burning conviction, the Sororitas Inquisitors will come and conquer the heretics and everything that stands in the way of the Imperium.



Before the release, we will summarize more detailed information about the mentioned features in a brief series of blog posts, so check back occasionally to see how the new class will shake things up in the Caligari Sector. Until then…

[h2]The Emperor Protects![/h2]

Recent weeks have seen the emergence of numerous new individual threats in the Caligary Sector. Prognosticars have identified several of these entities as harbingers of an approaching crisis. Needless to say, averting another major catastrophe is of the utmost priority, so the Caligari Conclave has decided to issue a new Edict.



The enemies of the Imperium have been identified as primary targets in need of immediate elimination. Your rewards will be in proportion with your achievements, Inquisitor! Get ready, find the targets and show them the mighty power of the Inquisition! In His name they shall be obliterated from existence:
