Warhammer Skulls Festival - Deeds of the Fallen DLC & Onslaught Pack
Battlesector and Gladius are taking part in the Warhammer Skulls Festival, with a new narrative campaign and a major free update for Battlesector and a DLC release for Gladius.
Let's take a look!
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius
Free-to-keep week
Gladius is going to be free-to-keep on Steam for the duration of the festival.
It is the perfect occasion to try Gladius if you haven't: it is the ultimate 4X strategy game set in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000.
We are really excited to announce that the first narrative campaign DLC, Deeds of the Fallen, is now available on Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. Featuring 12 new missions and 3 new units for the Sisters of Battle, it's time to bring the fight to Warzone Chaltnath.
On top of this new DLC, we are realising also a new free major update for everyone who owns the base game. The new major update adds a new game mode, Crusade, and also two free units.
Deeds of the Fallen DLC
There hasn’t been new story content from us since our initial release, but this changes today, with the arrival of our new Story Campaign, Deeds of the Fallen. Deeds of the Fallen contains twelve missions, where fans can play as the Sisters of Battle through a story-driven campaign against the Orks. The Adepta Sororitas will receive three new units, Imagifier, Castigator Battle Tank, Zephyrim - to fight in the name of the Emperor.
The Crusade Mode is a new game feature that will challenge players to start with a basic army and fight their way through hordes of enemies, to earn the opportunity to expand both their forces and firepower. The mode also adds a new way to level up the troops, with a new experience system based on the ferocity of the battle, with a variety of ways to upgrade entire classes of troops.
New free units
For this year’s Skulls we wanted to give you some new free units. Last year we sent new forces for Necrons and Tyranids. This time Sisters of Battle and Orks will reap the benefits.
The Adepta Sororitas can now count on the Dominions. The Dominions are specialist assault infantry who excel when making rapid deployments against enemy forces.
While the Orks are gaining the much requested melee version of the Boyz as the lads with Choppas and Sluggas are here and ready for a scrap.
Future
2025 is going to be yet another stellar year for Battlesector. We’ll be regularly updating the game with feature updates and faction balance changes as we go through the year.
There will also be something new, exciting and a bit chaotic coming towards the end of the year…
Warhammer Skulls is the celebration of all digital games about Warhammer.
There are loads of amazing discounts and new announcements from other studios, too. So we hope that you will check them out here.
