The highly successful Space Marine 2 has made millions, leading Games Workshop to seek out the next big video game. This pursuit is part of their strategic plan to expand and diversify their digital offerings. Games Workshop, the British company known for creating and distributing the popular tabletop game Warhammer, has seen significant success in the video game industry.
Notably, Space Marine 2 is a sequel to the original Space Marine game, which was a third-person shooter based on the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The sequel, developed by Sabre Interactive, was revealed at The Game Awards 2021 and has already generated a lot of buzz and anticipation among fans.
However, Games Workshop isn't stopping there. The company is actively looking for more Warhammer video games, especially those that can bring a fresh perspective or unique gameplay to the table. They are encouraging developers to share their ideas for new Warhammer games, promising support and collaboration in bringing those ideas to life.
The company's approach to licensing has evolved significantly over the years. Initially, Games Workshop was careful and selective about who could create Warhammer video games. Now, they've opened up the process, welcoming ideas from all over the gaming industry. This shift in approach has led to a broader range of Warhammer games, from strategy titles like Total War: Warhammer to VR experiences like Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Tempestfall.
Despite the diversity of these games, Games Workshop ensures all of them align with the Warhammer brand's core values and lore. The company also provides extensive support to developers, from access to their vast trove of lore to assistance with marketing and promotion.
With the success of Space Marine 2 and the open call for new game ideas, it is clear Games Workshop is keen to continue its winning streak in the video game industry. Fans of the Warhammer universe can look forward to more exciting and diverse gaming experiences in the future.
