A gameplay trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 has just been revealed during today’s Warhammer Skulls event, and it features a special surprise for fans of the newer era of the 40k narrative. The Leagues of Votann, the newest faction added to the tabletop game, are making their video game debut.
This new trailer, which you can watch below, looks like a fancier and shiner update of the first game (which makes sense). Characters present in the first game are making a return including all of your advisors, and you’ll be battling against the Necron once again on Hekateus IV.
Check out the Mechanicus 2 gameplay trailer here!
As for the Leagues of Votann, we see them represented with various units, including Hearthkyn (AI comrades), Beserks, and standard warriors. It’s not clear yet what role they’ll play in the narrative, it seems as though whether or not they’re friend of foe is going to be a major mystery going into the game, but it’s cool to see them get some love in Warhammer’s continued push into the video game space.

Mechanicus 2 is in development right now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and it set to release at some point later this year. No exact release date has been revealed quite yet, so you’ll have to hang in there until more info drops. If you’re looking to kill some time and haven’t played the first game, it’s currently on sale on Steam for 80%. It’ll also be free for a while, so at least try it out!
