For the tabletop, yes. They anounced late 2019 that they were developing it, it is set to release at the beginning of next year. So January of February. It is very creatively called “Warhammer: The Old World” an set in Warhammers past and a mix of what they liked best throughout the past editions. Here is the article overview on their community page.
Currently they are doing an article every monday taking a glance on the upcomig rules.
You’ll be able to play with your old minis if you still have them. But they anounced earlier in the year that the base size for most minis will change to something bigger. Only thing concrete so far is that apparently every 20mm base will change to a 25mm base. (the basing article it talks a bit about Bretonnian armies before the basing)
Oh absolutely.
On the other hand, we’d probably have had to wait way longer for the games if they included every race from the get-go, if we would have gotten the games at all. But the day 1 DLCs? Yeah, those can go die in a fire.
Oh, and since you seem to be interested in the TT site of the Old World as well, are you reading the current article series on their community page for the new game?
Are there many still around these days? From the top of my head I only know of Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer.
The latter was so good it is bringing back the Old World from GW!
I got into it because I got Total War Napoleon (another annoying launcher with the Total War series nowadays…) and didn’t realize beforehand that you needed an Steam account for it.
I came around to appreciate the storefront and library for my purchased digital games. But as you said, I don’t want to have to run a nanny program to play my games. Especially my single player games.
That’s what I like about gog though, I can just download an offline installer for my games from them. Although I think by now even they have games on their store that require launchers.
Absolutely hated it when I was forced to use it. Nowadays I don’t mind that much anymore. But if a game needs to launch another launcher first, that drives me crazy.
Looking at you, EA and Ubishit.
Aw yes, Kyle Kartan is back shooting every Space Nazi in the base on a covert mission to steal the plans for the Death Star. And that’s just the first level!
I hope they’ll also remaster Dark Forces 2 (aka Jedi Knight). Although I fear they wouldn’t be able to do the mighty beard and that 90s FMV justice.
