  • The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth Hits Early Access Today

    The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth is a new turn-based VR game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It should be noted that you do not need a VR system to play the game. A desktop will work just fine. Of course there is a catch. That catch is that the game is out only in Steam Early Access right now.
    Experience The Horus Heresy with an original narrative, characters and conflict from esteemed Black Library author, Rob Sanders. Horus Heresy fans around the world can finally feel like they are really there and master the ultimate living battlefield in a “human-scale” interactive experience.

    The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth is a tactical turn-based strategy game based on Games Workshop’s fan-favorite Betrayal at Calth tabletop game, set during the Horus Heresy era. Betrayal at Calth includes a single-player campaign and multiplayer PvP skirmish mode, built for VR and also available with cross-platform play on PC.

    Set in the 31st Millennium on the planet of Calth, you play as Magos Ohmnal Sarc, a tech priest of the Mechanicus caught in conflict as Brother Legions of Space Marines take arms against one another. When Sarc discovers corrupted data in the data stream, he must tactically command his unit of noble Ultramarines against a faction of traitorous Word Bearers. Out-wit and thwart their devious plot to corrupt the Imperium and disrupt the future of mankind.

    The Early Access release includes the first of five planned campaign chapters. The single player mode includes a "five-map narrative where players control units of Space Marine Legionaries and guide them through the underground arcologies of Calth." On the flip side, PvP includes four maps and two play modes (Deathmatch and Objective Based). Updates will be rolled out throughout Early Access that will include new chapters, maps, weapons, abilities, and units. Right now only the Ultramarines and Word Bearers are included.
