Today the good folks at Complex Games and Frontier Foundry have just released a small but interesting teaser for their grimdark turn-based strategy game Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters.
The teaser simply includes the words "This is Grand Master Havlik, Protocol Beta Garnet 38-7-19 invoked... Inquisitor: What do you think you have found?" alongside a familiar emblem.
The emblem, portraying a skull on a cross and dagger is what provides the most information about the tease, as it's the emblem of the Officio Assassinorum, a highly-secretive organization within the Imperium of Man that trains and employs highly trained and augmented assassins to eliminate powerful enemies, infiltrate behind enemy lines, and generally strike fears in the hearts of the enemies of the Emperor.
Basically, they're among the most feared and at the same time the most surgical tools in the hand of the High Lords of Terra and you could consider them the grimdarkest among the grimdark.
They're divided into various temples, including Vindicare, Callidus, Eversor, and Culexus, specializing in various ways to deal death to whoever requires a swift or brutal (depending on the temple) elimination.
You can check out the teaser itself below.
Incidentally, we know that an update is coming on July 25, so it's very possible that a new Assassin-themed DLC may be released at the same time or in a similar time frame.
Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is currently available exclusively for PC. Recently, Frontier Developments acquired its developer, Complex Games.
