Warhammer Classics Launches to Preserve Classic PC Games

For newer PC gamers curious about the early days of the medium, time-preserving classic titles are becoming more and more of a project. As technology advances and digital storefronts evolve, you’re not necessarily going to find legal ways to play games that captured the imagination of PC players in the 1990s. There are several titles from the Warhammer catalog that fall into this category, but a new initiative is making sure that players can still access these games for years to come.

Games publisher SNEG has joined forces with Games Workshop and its developer & publisher partners to unveil its new label in classic video game preservation, Warhammer Classics. Now available on Steam in an accessible, future-proofed form, fans of the iconic franchise can now play more than 20 seminal and cult-favorite Warhammer video games, bringing them back to PC. Warhammer is synonymous with tabletop and video gaming, spanning genres from real-time strategy and turn-based tactics to fantasy sports, digital board games, and first-person shooters.

Some titles you can access on Steam now are brand new to the platform, and others are new arrivals. Classic titles making their Steam debut include Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War, Warhammer: Dark Omen, Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, and Warhammer: Mark of Chaos – Gold Edition.

Games returning to Steam include Space Hulk, Space Hulk: Ascension, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach, Talisman: Horus Heresy, Talisman: Origins, Man O’ War: Corsair – Warhammer Naval Battles, Warhammer Quest, Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times, Legacy of Dorn: Herald of Oblivion, Chainsaw Warrior, Chainsaw Warrior: Lords of Night.
