Evaluation

Warhammer: Chaosbane launched on May 31, 2019 and received a substantial post-launch content program. The developer delivered free additions (new hero classes, new zones, new enemies, the Tower of Chaos, and reworked game modes) alongside paid DLC. The major content milestones were the Tomb Kings expansion on December 16, 2019, and the Witch Hunter character on November 10, 2020 — the latter released as part of the "Slayer Edition," a bundled package explicitly described as including "all of the content that's been released for Chaosbane thus far." An April 10, 2020 developer post marked the end of the original content roadmap, though it teased further plans that were ultimately delivered in the November 2020 Slayer Edition update. All 13 DLC items in the store listing are released, with no unreleased entries remaining. Since November 10, 2020, there have been no further content updates, patch notes, or announcements for Chaosbane itself. Developer communications from March 2024 onward have focused entirely on the studio's next project, Dragonkin: The Banished, with Eko Software explicitly describing it as "a spiritual successor to Warhammer: Chaosbane" — confirming that the team has moved on. The Slayer Edition bundling all content, the completion of the original roadmap, and over five years of silence on Chaosbane-specific development all point clearly to the game being a finished product as of November 10, 2020.

About this game

“Keep your eyes on this one, because it’s one quality Action RPG” – Entertainment Buddha


In a world ravaged by war and dominated by magic, you are the last hope for the Empire of Man against the Chaos hordes. Playing solo or with up to 4 in local or online co-op, choose a hero from 5 character classes with unique and complementary skills, and prepare for epic battles wielding some of the most powerful artefacts of the Old World.

• THE FIRST HACK AND SLASH set in the Warhammer Fantasy world, told through an all-new story written by Mike Lee (a Black Library author) and featuring a soundtrack composed by Chance Thomas.

• FEROCIOUS BATTLES: from the sewers of Nuln to the ruined streets of Praag, fight your way through monster hordes using over 180 different powers. Activate your bloodlust, a devastating skill, to escape the most perilous situations.

• 5 CHARACTER CLASSES, each with unique skills and customisation: a soldier of the Empire who can take heavy damage, a Dwarf specialised in melee combat, a High Elf who deals ranged damage by manipulating magic, a Wood Elf who lays deadly traps and wields the bow like no other, or a versatile Dwarf Engineer who can blow off steam, literally!

• AN XXL BESTIARY with over 70 monsters aligned with the Chaos Gods and unique bosses. Battle Nurgle's minions, Khorne's spawn and waves of other vile creatures!

• OPTIMIZED FOR CO-OP: solo or with up to 4 players, local or online, the class synergy and interface have been designed for co-op. Combine different skills and powers to create even more devastating effects.

• HIGH REPLAY VALUE: Story mode, a boss rush mode, countless dungeons and regular updates offer a rich and varied gaming experience. And with 10 difficulty levels, you can find the right challenge to test your abilities.
