Analysis: Warhammer 40,000 rising

I somehow missed out on playing Daemonhunters when it first launched on PC, so I'm definitely eager to check out the Xbox version next month. It's been a while since a I played a pure tactics game with deep customization, and the Grey Knights are always an intriguing group to focus on.

Outside of this, there's been a lot of great Warhammer 40,000 games over the last couple of years, with even more ahead. 2023 brought Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, a retro-themed shooter paying homage to titles like Doom and Quake. Just before the year ended, we also got Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, a turn-based RPG set in the fringes of the Koronus Expanse. Looking ahead, third-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is set to launch on Sep. 9, 2024. 

It's a great time to get into this sprawling franchise no matter what your tastes are. Find a game (or genre) that interests you, and go from there!
