Definitely not soon.” This means we’re talking no sooner than 2022, and very possibly 2023. Warhammer: The Old World was announced on November 15, 2019, and GW was at pains to make clear that “this is a long way off. Citing every official post from GW yet released about The Old World, we’ll cover the setting (temporal and physical) and all the races that have been mentioned so far, as well as the really important questions that still need answering.īut whatever else Warhammer: The Old World is, we can take solace in this: it’s definitely a tabletop game set in the original Warhammer Fantasy world. To help shed some light on all this, we thought we’d walk you through the knowns and the unknowns. If, in your ecstatic delirium, you’ve assumed that we’re getting WFB: Ninth Edition – well, that may be premature. GW has been drip-feeding us some really exciting details ever since, but there’s still quite a lot we don’t know about it. Like probably too many players of Warhammer Fantasy Battle (WFB), I rehearsed the five stages of grief with my friends via text in 2015, as Games Workshop’s plan to kill a game we’d played together since 1998, and replace it with Age of Sigmar, unfolded.īut just as I’d reached acceptance and made peace with WFB’s demise, GW announced its resurrection, the cheeky snotlings, in the form of Warhammer: The Old World.

It’s official – Warhammer: The Old World is coming.
