During the recent Warhammer Skulls event, Frontier were on hands to announce Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, an all new RTS game coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Check out the reveal trailer below.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is set in Ghur, the savage Realm of Beasts, an inhospitable, violent land where only the strongest survive. In the singleplayer campaign, the forces of Order dispatch the celestial, reforged champions known as the Stormcast Eternals to reclaim this realm.

With a diverse range of mission types and modes, no two battles are ever the same in Realms of Ruin. Featuring four playable factions that are completely distinct from one another visually and strategically, players will rally their armies, unleashing powerful units to turn the tides of war in their favour. From fast-moving flyers to lumbering monsters, mystical wizards and powerful heroes, each has their own strengths and weaknesses. Players will clash over Arcane Conduits to harvest resources, upgrade and specialise their forces via tech trees, and control the battle across multiple fronts as they seize victory.

With the game coming to consoles as well as PC, you might be wondering how it plays, given RTS games are not quite the same without a mouse and keyboard. It seems Frontier have thought of this, because if you use a controller, the game will engage the DirectStep system, which is their new real-time strategy interface, that should enable tactical immediacy in the heat of battle. Using the analogue sticks and a few simple button presses, players can quickly cycle through their squads, issue orders and engage the enemy.

There is no release date for the game yet, but it is expected soon-ish, but before then a series of open multiplayer beta tests are expected.
