Game developer Nexon has recently announced that they have acquired a licensing agreement with Games Workshop to develop and publish, as Nexon states, a “Virtual World” based on the popular fantasy game franchise, Warhammer, particularly the Age of Sigmar.

It is an era of war. The Mortal Realms have been despoiled. Ravaged by the followers of the Chaos Gods, they stand on the brink of destruction. Players will command the war hosts of the God-king Sigmar and his allies as they fight to reignite hope and bring order back to the realms.

Built on the legacy of Age of Sigmar, the new Virtual World will feature a socially interactive player-versus-environment world supported by Nexon’s world-class Live Operations for sustaining the fun with new content and service.

Each season, players will collect characters and enter new realms. Each character comes with unique options, stories, and gameplay. Players will be able to customize their characters and work cooperatively to guide how sections of the Realms are retaken.

“Under the creative direction of Games Workshop, Warhammer has become one of the world’s most exciting and popular game franchises, and Nexon is the global leader in developing Virtual Worlds. We look forward to extending this legacy that will bring the creative excellence of Warhammer to a Virtual World for PC, consoles, and mobile platforms.”

Colin Robinson, Nexon Vice President of Development Partnership

Nexon’s Warhammer game is set to become a PvE Multiplayer RPG Virtual World set to be released for various platforms including PC, Console, Android, and iOS. Unlike Nexon’s other games where they launch their titles in South Korea first, Warhammer will be launched immediately for the global audience and will support multiple languages including English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, and Arabic. The official launch date is yet to be announced.
