Warhammer 40,000’s Space Marine series returns this September, ending a 13-year wait between games. It’s not as if there haven’t been other Warhammer 40K titles to make the wait easier between those release dates though, and now one of them is getting a tabletop adaptation. Darktide: The Card Game, announced today and releasing before Space Marine 2.
Revealed alongsidea laundry list of other new and upcoming Warhammer products, the card game adaptation ofWarhammer 40,000: Darktidehas been created by Cubicle 7 and is slated for a summer release. Team up with as many as three other players and embark on six missions, all of which see you battle against deadly foes who have been sent to kill you by their Inquisitor.
Darktide: The Card Game can also be played alone. Complete shorter missions when playing solo or prolong the adventure by inviting others to join you on your quest. Included with the game are 260 cards, six boards, and everything else you will need to play the game. No price or pre-order details have been revealed yet, but if you want to pick up something similar for less while you wait, you can currently get 10 percent off all Warhammer gamesat Cubicle 7by entering the code RELICS10 at checkout.
Warhammer was a tabletop game before it was a video game, of course, so it’s interesting to see one of its titles go the other way. This is a little different since it’s a card game rather than one that uses figures, but it’s still a way to play Darktide some fans will feel more comfortable playing than the video game on which it’s based. If you’re looking for a way to combine those two worlds, the very popularWarhammer 40,000 Magic The Gathering Commander decks are finally available on MTG Online.
