New Warhammer 40K game in the works

When THQ was dissolved earlier this year, the fate of the Warhammer game license was left in question. Now, more light has been shed on the situation. Slitherine announced today a partnership with Games Workshop to develop a new turn-based strategy game based on the Warhammer 40,000 world.

Development on the game is already underway for multiple platforms, though details about its content and features were not divulged.

According to Slitherine, the "best talents in design and development" are working on the untitled project.

In addition to Slitherine's new Warhammer game, Total War developer Creative Assembly is working on multiple titles set in the fantasy universe. The first of these games will release "from beyond 2013."
