Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade casts players as fighters for the Eldar, Orks, Chaos or Space Marines in a large-scale online battle for survival. Its Warhammer 40,000 setting shapes both the factions and the arsenal: weapons and accessories drawn from the series’ lore can be earned and used to customize characters through a progression system.
Combat moves between close-quarters clashes with Chainswords, gunfire and aerial attacks using a jump pack. Players can also fire from a Predator tank’s turrets, giving the battlefield several ways to join the fight. The game’s stated formats include competitive player-versus-player battles and cooperative missions, where squads defend strongholds or venture into the Underworld to face Tyranids together.
The modes put teamwork at the heart of the experience, whether players are holding a position against opponents or confronting alien hordes as a squad.
