Slitherine reveals massive gaming lineup
The British publisher behind Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector has announced seven new games for its 2022 roster, including Terminator: Dark Fate – Defiance.
Slitherine ends a stunning year on a high with a second Home of Wargamers Live event. Just days after releasing Warhammer 40,000 Battlesector on Xbox, Windows, and PlayStation to widespread acclaim, the British publisher steps up again; announcing three massive new games, additional content for existing franchises and lifts the veil on previously announced Stargate: Timekeepers and Broken Arrow gameplay.
“Our events are all about establishing a connection with the players and the community,” says Marco A. Minoli, CMO of Slitherine. “In a world that pre-records pretty much everything, we have made the choice to broadcast weekly live shows where we answer questions, engage with fans, and give information in a very direct way. Twice a year Home of Wargamers brings this notion to a wider, more comprehensive level; by involving media, influencers and, of course, the public in an all-encompassing update on what we are working on. We are proud to share our vision with anyone who wants to stop by and listen”.
