Games Workshop is going wild with video game adaptations lately, licensing its beloved tabletop franchises to everyone and their grandmother. That Focus Home has licensed Warhammer 40,000 off-shot Space Hulk for an FPS is no surprise, then, but here's the weird bit: Space Hulk: Deathwing> is made by Streum On Studio, the folks behind E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.
Wipe the skull fragments from your boots and sharpen your shoulder pads, as Cyanide Studio's Blood Bowl adaptation is finally getting an actual sequel rather than more fancied-up expanded editions. Publisher Focus Home carefully avoids saying anything of much consequence about Blood Bowl 2, but, er, hey, we do know that vampire-ogre commentator duo Jim & Bob will play a bigger part.
If you like the team-management side of Blood Bowl but not the turn-based strategy of matches, and would rather games were free than costing money, then, er, hey! Cyanide is working on a free-to-play version of the Games Workshop tabletop game which focuses purely on management, aiming for release on PC, Mac and tablets some time from April to June.
Paradox Interactive has announced Impire, a dungeon management strategy game from Cyanide Studio which sounds like it's taking more than a few cues from Dungeon Keeper.
Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition is coming this September, with the addition of Chaos Dwarves, Daemons of Khorne, and Underworld outcasts.
Blood Bowl developer Cyanide is flexing its Games Workshop license again, taking that violent sport underground to play with strange new rules in dingy dungeons. Yes, daft wizards have put their heads together and come up with the sport of Dungeonbowl.
A Game of Thrones trailer sets the tone and mood for the dark fantasy epic based on the hit HBO show.
Cyanide Studio did a decent job of turning a tabletop game into a video game with Blood Bowl, and on April 5 we'll get to see its stab at another adaptation in Confrontation, based on the vintage miniatures wargame by Rackham.
Atlus announced today that the Game of Thrones RPG will release on May 15 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The publisher also released a story trailer highlighting the conflict faced by one of the game's two lead characters.
If you've been hanging on the edge of your throne in anticipation of a peek at Game of Thrones, the video game adaptation of fantasy's favorite soap opera from Blood Bowl developer Cyanide, give your royal rump a rest and watch the debut trailer.
