Warhammer: Chaosbane is the first ever hack and slash title that is set in the Warhammer universe. Pre-orders began today for the game on the Xbox Store and are coming tomorrow to the PlayStation Store. Curiously, the game is also apparently coming to PC, and even has a Steam page up, but there was no mention of this in today's press release.
Slated to be released on June 4, this new game from Bigben and Eko Software will have two beta phases. The first is in March with the second one slated to begin in April. The exact dates during these two months were not shared with us just yet. However, access seems like it will only be given to those that pre-order the game.
Speaking of pre-orders, there are some in-game bonuses for those that pre-order the game. These include an experience bonus and a pack of four legendary crates. Those that get the "Magnus Edition" of the game will get to play the final release starting May 31.
In Warhammer: Chaosbane, each class offers the player distinct abilities and gameplay. As you cooperate, online or locally, with up to 4 players, cooperation and strategy will be essential to doing away with the hordes of Chaos. Unleash Bloodlust, a unique mechanic in Warhammer: Chaosbane, which lets loose a devastating power that can change the outcome of a battle.
The first hack and slash to take place in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world, Warhammer: Chaosbane plunges the player into the heart of the Old World, a continent marked by the Great War Against Chaos, a bloody conflict which ravaged the Empire of men.
