Slitherine is pleased to announce that it will now lead the development of all future content for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector. The leading strategy publisher has acquired the rights to the game’s engine and will work collaboratively with other developers to produce DLC broader in scope than anything released before.

Black Lab Games originally developed the game and the first six faction DLCs, as well as a wealth of new features and game modes between 2021 and 2024. The studio’s relationship with Slitherine dates back to 2015, with the release of Star Hammer: the Vanguard Prophecy on PC. Moving forward, Black Lab Games will work on new projects that are still to be announced.

Releasing in 2021 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector has received a positive reception from both critics and the broader community. The game currently has a very positive rating from users on Steam.
