As a result, David Braben, Frontier’s Chief Executive Officer, said:
“We are delighted to announce this license with Games Workshop. I think it’s great news that two such well-established and world-class creative UK companies with global reach are collaborating on a new project. We look forward to working closely with the team at Games Workshop to bring the full world of Warhammer Age of Sigmar to a broad audience through an immersive and accessible real-time strategy game on both PC and console.
Our roadmap is looking more robust than ever, with two games from our internal developments for each of FY22 and FY23 and an exciting portfolio coming up from our third-party publishing initiative, starting in FY21.
I am incredibly proud of the positive reaction of our staff to the challenges of Covid-19 and would like to thank them all for their dedication. We were delighted to release Elite Dangerous: Fleet Carriers Beta and Planet Zoo: South America Pack before the Easter weekend as planned.”
After having said much, Jon Gillard, Global Head of Licensing at Games Workshop, added:
“As Warhammer becomes an ever-larger brand and our legions of fans around the world look for exciting ways to experience the splendor of our settings, we are always looking for the highest quality partners to work with. Frontier is just such a company, with an incredible heritage, and an innovative and highly polished development capability demonstrated by their compelling vision for this game.
This will be the first RTS set in the epic fantasy world of the Age of Sigmar, which is the kind of game that Warhammer and strategy fans have been clamoring for. We know that the teams at Frontier are the perfect people to take on that great responsibility and do it justice.”
Interestingly, The Warhammer Age of Sigmar game is set to launch in the fiscal year 2023 for consoles, streaming platforms, and PC. On that note, Frontier still plans to release Planet Coaster and a paid expansion for Elite Dangerous come 2021.
For 2022, the same studio is going to be offering the multiplatform release of a game centered on an unrevealed global IP and also the licensed F1 manager game
