Here\u2019s the list of Warhammer games set for an update at Warhammer Skulls:<\/p>\n<h2>Warhammer Skulls 2026 video game lineup:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (Focus Entertainment &amp; Saber Interactive)<\/li>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (Fatshark)<\/li>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy (Owlcat Games)<\/li>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun 2 and Warhammer Survivors (Devolver Digital &amp; Auroch Digital)<\/li>\n<li>Total War: Warhammer III (Sega &amp; Creative Assembly)<\/li>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector (Slitherine)<\/li>\n<li>Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War IV (Deep Silver, KING Art Games)<\/li>\n<li>and many, many more\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Right, so what can we expect? Space Marine 2 is due to release Patch 13 soon, so perhaps we\u2019ll get a release date or even a shadowdrop during the event. At the end of the teaser video we get a hint at something new coming to Fatshark\u2019s Darktide \u2014 a new playable class perhaps? AdMech maybe? A Servo-skull moves across the screen so quickly, it must be a hint at what&#8217;s to come.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"image-with-caption\" data-image-url=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/13\/screenshot-2026-05-13-184006-1778694021880.png\" data-image-title=\"null\" data-image-class=\"article-image-full-size\" data-image-link=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/05\/13\/screenshot-2026-05-13-184006-1778694021880.png\" data-caption=\"This%20fast-moving%20Servo-skull%20makes%20me%20feel%20a%20little%20Skittish.\"><\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p>And then there\u2019s Dawn of War IV, which is ripe for a release date announcement. Conspicuous by its absence here is Creative Assembly\u2019s hotly anticipated Total War: Warhammer 40,000. Given it\u2019s already announced, you\u2019d imagine if there were an update for it set for Skulls, it would be on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Not long to find out!<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Wesley is Director, News at IGN.
