A new global event is starting today (7pm CEST) in Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr, lasting throughout the weekend (June 15-17). The event is titled Invasion of Malcorum Prime and includes new community-wide goals, great rewards and a separate leaderboard. This event will be the first chance for the most skillful Inquisitors to permanently etch their name into the game.
Maintenance before the Event starts at 5PM CEST.
This is the first step in our journey towards endgame, as described here.
Event description:
Something is rotten on Malcorum Prime, one of the Astra Militarium fortress worlds in the Tenebra Subsector. The verdant planet has ceased to be an important military hub, but the colossal strongholds still accommodate millions of Guardsmen, who have been serving the Imperium loyally – until recently. Some hidden taint has corrupted the Hammers of the Emperor on such a scale that the revolts have escalated into a planet-wide conflict. Malcorum Prime is facing an open war between the loyal and rebellious Guardsmen, while sacred divinations and intelligence reports indicate that it might be only the beginning of a more sinister conflict. The Caligari Conclave will dispatch all available Inquisitors to the world that is slowly succumbing to madness.
Join the war for Malcorum Prime, purge the rebels on various battlefields and cleanse the world before darkness falls.
Free e-book
You don't even have to participate in the Event to receive goodies, we are releasing the next entry in our completely free e-book series The Caligari Archivum.
"Burden" by Gábor Izsóf is a novella in two parts, a murderous tale of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor obsessed with recovering forbidden knowledge from his past. Spanning over different timelines and visiting some of the darkest reaches of the Caligari Sector, the story grants a sobering glimpse of what it takes to survive in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000.
Download the first episode here in mobi and epub formats, and expect the second episode after the conclusion of the event.
So, whether you're an active combatant or a passive lore-savant, this weekend you're in for a treat either way!
The Emperor Protects!

Martyr - Endgame Overview
Inquisitors,
many of you have been asking about our plans regarding endgame progression, and the time has finally come for this topic.
In the close future, a series of events will lead up to our first Chapter update. Here is a brief timeline of our plans about the challenges awaiting Inquisitors worldwide:
During the next weekend (June 15-17), a shorter global event will take place. This will be tied in with a new short story from the Caligari Archivum, and Inquisitors will have to deal with invaders at a new point of interest. There will be community-wide goals to achieve for this event, and of course, successful Inquisitors' efforts won't go unrewarded.
There will be leaderboards implemented for the event (along with all such events in the future). This event will be the first chance for the most skillful Inquisitors to permanently etch their name into the game.
A few weeks after this introductory event, the foreshadowing of the Warzone begins with a week-long event that will have a permanent result on the game world based on the community's deeds within the Caligari Sector. This event will take place in the Lacaon System.
The Warzone will open soon afterwards, unlocking endgame leveling for players. This will mean that on the Progression tab, new active and passive skills can be unlocked via doing Endless missions within the Warzone. These missions will be gradually tougher and only seasoned veterans of the Caligari Sector will be able to progress far into the Warzone.
Within the Warzone, players will be able to search for keys that can be used for spawning a special Boss, a Nemesys, that will drop better quality, rarer items for those who are worthy enough to face them.
The Warzone means the lead-up to our first Chapter. Currently, there is one subsector available in the game world - the Tenebra Subsector (Tier I). The new Chapter will begin with yet another global event in late summer, and when the event ends, a whole new Subsector will be opened to players (Tier II). This Chapter will introduce the Dark Eldar faction along with an increased level cap, new items, perks, enchants, and new missions.
Of course, all such Events and Chapter updates will be completely free for everyone.
This is the base of the Chapter system, and our plan is to keep this progression going with unlocking new Chapters throughout the lifespan of the game.
To sum up:
A series of Global Events will introduce the Warzone within ~1 month
Within the Warzone, players will be able to unlock active and passive skills via Endless leveling
These events will have a global community goal and a permanent effect on the game world
The Warzone also allows players to farm keys used for fighting a Nemesys boss
After the Warzone, the second Subsector will be unlocked through an event
This will increase maximum level cap, introduce a new faction, new items, perks, enchants, quests, and more.
More and more Chapter updates will come as the game progresses along, providing free content throughout the lifespan of the game.
Заявление о запрете IP в России / Statement regarding IP bans in Russia
Уважаемые Российские Инквизиторы,
Из-за введенных правительством широкомасштабного запрета IP-адресов, несколько российских игроков оказались не в состоянии подключиться к игре. Из-за этого мы решили временно сделать Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor-Martyr недоступным для покупки новым пользователям в России, пока эти вопросы не будут решены. Было бы несправедливо продавать игру, которую игроки не могут использовать по назначению.
Это неприятная ситуация и для нас тоже, и мы сделаем все, что в наших силах, чтобы найти решение. Пожалуйста, следите за обновлениями и спасибо за Ваше понимание.
Команда NeocoreGames
Dear Russian Inquisitors,
Due to government-issued country-wide IP bans, several Russian players are finding themselves unable to connect to the game. Because of this, we have decided to temporarily make Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr unavailable for purchase to new users in Russia, until these issues are resolved. It wouldn't be fair to sell a game that players are unable to use as intended.
This is an unfortunate situation for us as well, and we'll do everything in our power to find a solution. Please stay tuned and thank you for your understanding.
The NeocoreGames Team
Inquisitor - Martyr: Hotfix for June 6
Updates to W40K: Inquisitor - Martyr have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted. It is also recommended to delete any launch parameters you previously had (you can re-add them if they help again, but it is safer to assume everything works best without them).
Fixed Bugs
Campaign difficulty selection no longer affects random misisons and assignments.
Fixed a crash occurring with Chinese localization
Fixed an issue where campaign quests did not appear for players.
Fixed the Metrodora Thelema achievement. This fix is not retroactive.
Players can now buy Attribute Points, etc. at Merciful Agony.
Fixed a bug where players were unable to move after cutscenes
Fixed a bug where players could not exit missions
Fixed missing sounds for cutscenes
Fixed difficulty issues with co-op
Also, we are constantly working on increasing server capacity.
The Emperor Protects.
An apology from NeocoreGames (and a friendly gift)
Dear Inquisitors,
due to the unexpectedly high number of players, our game servers went down for a few hours.
First of all, we are terribly sorry for the server issues. It was a combination of complex issues, but it was mainly the global chat that overloaded the servers. We have temporarily disabled global chat to solve this issue so everyone is able to play at least (Party chat, etc. will continue to operate). Of course, this is a temporary solution, expect a full update solving the issue completely.
To ensure maximum safety, we had to wipe account progress completely from the servers. We felt like this is not a big sacrifice as of now, since most people could only play for a short amount of time before the issue occurred.
As a token of our repentance, every one of you will receive a special Cherub in-game companion:
We will make this in-game companion available for players soon.
Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience that we have caused, and we will continue to work hard to provide the best possible gaming experience.
Servers are back up and operational.
The Emperor Protects.
Inquisitor - Martyr: Release Patch Notes for v1.0 - June 5
Updates to W40K: Inquisitor - Martyr have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client (in on-line mode) is restarted. It is also recommended to delete any launch parameters you previously had (you can re-add them if they help again, but it is safer to assume everything works best without them). Please also note that during maintenance, from 5PM CEST to 7PM CEST, players will be unable to login. We may extend maintenance if we see fit, so please be patient until servers go live again.
Thank you!
This release wouldn't have been possible without the players, so we’d like to thank you for your support during the Founding and Early Access. During these long months, you showed the best traits of Inquisitors, you were observant, critical, and you reported anything that wasn’t quite worthy in the eyes of the Emperor. In times of glory, in times of struggle, you were there with us, providing overwhelming support and understanding. For this, we'll be eternally grateful.
Your feedback was extremely valuable, and the game got better because of it. Of course, we'll be counting on you in the future as well, since Inquisitor - Martyr is continually evolving.
We hope we have managed to meet or exceed your expectations, but if not, please know that we will continue to improve the game based on your feedback. Look forward to more content and improvements in free future updates, global events and Chapters!
Thank you again, and please spread the word that Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is now complete!
