It wasn't long ago that we were shown an extended overview trailer for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground, which arrives on 27th May on Switch eShop and a variety of other platforms. It's a turn-based strategic combat title that looks rather promising, while tapping into the lore of the hugely popular IP.
As that overview trailer from above shows, there are multiple paths and approaches for solo campaign runs, but the most recent news from Focus Home Interactive is focused on the online multiplayer battles. It's been confirmed that crossplay will be supported across all launch platforms, which should make it much easier to find games; as it's turn-based there'll be no real disadvantage based on hardware, either.
That crossplay will work on Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Steam (and this'll likely include PS5 / Xbox Series X|S players through their backward compatibility, too).
It's out next week at $39.99USD on the eShop, are you planning to pick it up?

These Warhammer games are beginning to merge together! Is this one considered better than Mechanicus or should I save my money?
looks interesting. I might play it after I catch up on some of my backlog.
@iuli My bad! I just assumed this was a port. I really enjoyed Mechanicus! Definitely not ground breaking from a technical or gameplay level, but the game had a brilliant “vibe” and an incredible soundtrack
no physical release
@DeclanS98 loved mechanicus as well agree the soundtrack and the whole theme was great
@DeclanS98 this looks like its taking a lot from the Underworld Boardgames (which are amazing small scale skirmish games).
I didn't play Mechanicas, but it looked to me like a Diablo style dungeon crawler in the 40k universe.
Hopefully this will have voice chat on Switch if it's crossplay. I couldn't imagine playing this sort of game in silence, it would get boring quickly.
@Anguspuss Sadly even on other formats, is my main reason I'm not buying it at launch, can't justify that high a cost on a digital only game.
After watching this trailer I just want to go back and play some StarCraft, Maybe even some Warcraft.
@DeclanS98 Mechanicus takes place in their sci-fi universe, this one in their fantasy universe, so there's that. Bit like Starcraft/Warcraft.
