Games Workshop's tabletop miniature games are an unending source of inspiration for video games. Their turn-based mechanics are easily adaptable to a digital format. Therefore, most of the adaptations released to date follow this pattern and offer you to control armies that fight on a battlefield following certain rules. But there are more than just turn-based video games coming from the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 universes, and we can find real-time strategy games like the Dawn of War series, action RPGs like Inquisitor: Martyr or Chaosbane, and even shooters like Fire Warrior in the list. Other games in the franchise have caught the attention of the developers, and for example, Necromunda has become quite popular lately with a couple of video games based on its lore.
Necromunda: Underhive Wars allowed us to control one of the gangs fighting for territory and profit in the depths of the massive hive city, but the upcoming Necromunda: Hired Gun takes a more personal approach to the franchise, letting us become one of the bounty hunters trying to earn their keep in the dangerous streets and sub-levels of Necromunda. We already have had the chance of watching a few videos showing its gameplay and revealing its features, but with the release of Necromunda: Hired Gun around the corner Focus Home Interactive has published a new video showcasing the opening cinematic of the game.
The video gives us an overview of how things are in the 41st millennium revealing the importance that Hive Cities like Necromunda have in the expansion of the human empire. If you read a bit between the lines, you can figure out that all that progress comes with a cost in human lives. Of course, there are also people that will try to take advantage of every situation to gain profit, and Necromunda is the perfect place for a bounty hunter to thrive, as crime, gang wars, mutants, and abominations become a problem on a daily basis. There is always someone willing to pay so others do the dirty work, and you are quite pleased to be the one reaping the rewards.
Necromunda: Hired Gun will be available tomorrow on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. You can find it at the best price on our comparator already.
