Slitherine's newest addition to the strategy wargaming genre looks to be a winner with Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. It gets top marks in our preview.
Games Workshop and itâs various Warhammer IPs are carving their way through the video game landscape with Astartes-like precision. While the Warhammer fantasy focused juggernaut, Total War: Warhammer 3, is gaining momentum (they did their Survival battle gameplay reveal very recently, and is due out later this year) we turn our attention to the even more popular IP end of the Warhammer spectrum: the sci-fi defining Warhammer 40K.
Games Workshop and Warhammer 40K make their shop money from their tabletop miniatures game and rule set. You would have likely seen the hobby shops on your high street selling minis and scenery and paints. This stuff ain t cheap and this is the reason I bring this up. Because for years now the company has allowed their Warhammer 40K IP to be licensed and turn up in games, but never have they let the game developers recreate anything that replicates the tabletop version and rules.

Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop wargame set in a grim universe where peace no longer exists, and humanity is eternally at war with aliens, daemons, and cosmic horrors. This franchise has seen many video game adaptations over the years, like the Dawn of War series, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and Space Hulk: Deathwing, to name a few.
Now, Black Lab Games and Slitherine Ltd have stepped up to present their take on the brutal setting of the 41st Millennium with Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector, a turn-based strategy game that is set to be released for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PS5 on July 15, 2021.

Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector comes out 15th July on PC, PlayStation and Xbox priced £30.99, publisher Slitherine has announced.
The PC version of the Blood Angels versus Tyranids turn-based strategy game was due out in May, with the console versions to follow in the summer. But Slitherine is now going for a joined-up launch across all platforms in July.
Battlesector is developed by Black Lab Games, maker of the well-received Battlestar Galactica Deadlock. It s described as battle-scale , and based on gameplay it s a scale bigger than leading turn-based strategy game XCOM, but smaller than the likes of Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon.
