SNEG and Games Workshop have announced the launch of Warhammer Classics, a new label aimed at revitalizing classic Warhammer games for a modern audience. This initiative seeks to offer iconic titles in an accessible and optimized form, ensuring they run smoothly on current hardware and operating systems. In its debut, Warhammer Classics will make available more than 20 games, of which 12 are re-releases on Steam and 7 are premieres on the platform.
Authentic cult gems
Oleg Klapovskiy, director of SNEG, emphasized that this collection not only represents a recount of old games but also a clear statement about the importance of preserving the fundamental Warhammer games for future generations. “Warhammer has a long history on PC, and we are committed to ensuring that the platform remains central to its long-term stewardship,” Klapovskiy noted.
Among the promised titles, the acclaimed strategy game from 1998, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, has been updated to improve stability and compatibility, incorporating new widescreen combat resolutions and support for a 16:9 user interface. However, as noted, some content may not reflect the current representations of the Warhammer universes due to its classic nature.
As part of the launch, a sale has been enabled on Steam with discounts ranging from 20% to 90% until April 20, representing an attractive opportunity for fans to acquire their favorite classics. Although some titles are older and may not be considered the best, others have made a significant mark in the history of Warhammer video games.
