Warhammer Age Of Sigmar: Deathmaster Brings Stealth Action To PC And

Stealth-action is probably not the first thing you think of when you hear 'Warhammer,' but sometimes the most satisfying experiences are the most surprising.

Announced during Warhammer Skulls 2026, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is a 2D action-platformer featuring the 'ratman' Vihneek, a skilled and disturbed hooded assassin. Players will utilize stealth abilities and traps to navigate enemies and execute deadly attacks from the shadows. Despite its cartoony art style, the game promises a violent and quintessentially Warhammer experience, as showcased in the teaser trailer where Vihneek appears to be on the edge.

The narrative of Vihneek is deeply rooted in the lore of the Age of Sigmar, with the Skaven aiming to dominate the Mortal Realms. Known for its brutal gameplay, Warhammer video games often involve annihilating everything in sight, a challenge that Vihneek seems prepared to tackle. Developed by Dotemu, a publisher with a strong background in 2D action games like Absolum and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is set to launch in 2027 for both PC and consoles.
