The upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, whose September 9 release date is on the horizon, will likely be one of the stars of the show. Space Marine 2 puts you back in the boots of Lieutenant Titus, and last year’s show gave us a glimpse of some of the intense action gameplay we can expect. This year is shaping up to give us even more.On the released game side of things, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader came out in December, making now a prime time for updates or new info. The epic isometric RPG emphasized player decisions and character alignment, and it was a hit with our IGN reviewer thanks to excellent writing and combat.With Kohli back as host, you know there will also be updates about Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. The retro-styled FPS, which starred Kohli as the voice of protagonist Malum Caedo, was clearly inspired by iconic shooters of the past, with a design and art style that was a love letter to the ’90s. Boltgun was released just days before last year’s showcase, so what reveals could be waiting this year?That’s just scratching the surface of what could be featured. There should also be news and reveals for Total War: Warhammer, Blood Bowl 3, Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, and more. Plus, the May 23 showcase only marks the start of Warhammer Skulls. The celebration will last one week, with special discounts and freebies offered. That includes up to 90% off Warhammer titles, as well as new content, DLCs, and free updates across several platforms, including Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox.

Lots of updates, reveals, and discounts are on the way.
