Why One Photo on LinkedIn Hammer 40,000: War Fans Excited

Warhammer 40,000 Real-time Strategy Series Dawn of War has been dormant as Relic Entertainment ends support for the failed efforts in 2017, Dawn of War 3. Still, the first two games were popular with fans who have been wondering about the Dawn of War 4 or even the Dawn of War 1 or 2.

Now, a photo is published LinkedInWar fans hope that new things in the series will finally begin.

Let's start with Relic Entertainment itself, which recently gained independence from former owner SEGA through investments in Emona Capital. Emona Managing Partner Dominik Dolenec posted a selfie to LinkedIn showing him standing at the Nottingham headquarters in Games Workshop and Mecca at Warhammer World. Yes, this is a statue of the Space Marines in the background. marvelous.

However, the prospect is more interesting. Dolenec wears a relic entertainment t-shirt to attend the game workshop, so it is reasonable to assume that he represents the developer in town.

“It’s great to visit Nottingham’s game workshop,” Dorenick said. “Thank you so much to Owen Rees for sharing Warhammer Magic with us! Looking forward to deepening our partnership in the coming years. 💪🎮”

Owen Rees is the head of the licensing team at Games Workshop. He has worked in many Warhammer video games and leads licensing of all Warhammer products for video games and consumer products. At the end of Dolenec's comment, it's also worth noting about those emojis. It's a lot like a video game business meeting.

You can imagine guessing. It seems that the Dawn of War 4 seems to be the first of the wish list, but maybe it is a remake of Dawn of War 1 and/or 2, but on the card. Let's stay optimistic and suggest a brand new game, and the remake is in progress. why not?

Here is what we know: Games Workshop is looking for the next big Warhammer video game hit After a huge success, sales volume was 5 million Space Ocean 2 Changes everything for developers Saber Interactive.

In January, the first half of the fiscal year ended December 1, 2024, Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree praised Space Marine 2 for its success, which contributed a large amount of royalties to the business.

In fact, licensing revenue from royalties increased by £18 million (about $21.9 million) to £30.1 million (about $36.7 million). This is the key figure here who earns £26.1 million (about $31.8 million), up from £5.9 million (about $7.2 million), adding Games Workshop said it mainly comes from Space Marine2. 98% of the total licensing revenue of the game studio and Console Games (Space Marine 2 on PC, PC, Place Marine 2 boots up PC, Place Marine 2 on PC, Plasterstation 5 and Xbox Series Xbox & Xbox Serixs x).

Then, the all-around win, but Rountree also expressed caution about potential future video game success, acknowledging that hits like Space Marine 2 are rare and far apart.

Here is the explanation:

During this period, our licensing partners launched two new video games. Warhammer 40,000: Space Navy 2, third-person shooter for PC and console and Warhammer: Speed ​​Freeks, combat racing game. After the success of Space Ocean 2, the established game continued to contribute and received royalties. Obviously, we are looking for the next one. We remain cautious when predicting royalties.

So, where did the blow from this big Warhammer video game come from? It seems inevitable that Saber Interactive will have a chance to continue the story of Space Marine 3 with Space Marine 3 and does say it has the idea of ​​a third game.

Warhammer 40,000 has never been bigger. Amazon's Space Navy 2 animation, released as part of the animation Secret Level The anthology series gets along well with fans. And very excited Henry Cavill's Warhammer 40,000 projects are being made for Amazonalthough they are not far away. Creative Assembly is reportedly making a Warhammer 40,000 War game (finally!), although it's obviously been a few years. Will this strategy itch when the dawn of war revival?
