Today Complex Games and Frontier Foundry officially announced the next DLC for their grimdark turn-based strategy game Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters.
The new DLC, which is titled "Execution Force," has been teased for the past few days, and as we expected, it features the four canonic types of assassins from the Officio Assassinorum (Vindicare, Callidus, Eversor, and Culexus) as playable units.
The DLC also features boarding actions that finally lets you hunt down and board Death Guard cruisers, and new equipment for your Grey Knights, on top of new threats to fight.
Below you can watch the trailer before the DLC releases (alongside a free patch) on July 25.
