FRIEND OR FOE: FIRST GAMEPLAY TRAILER REVEALS NEW DANGERS AS THE LEAGUES OF VOTANN STORM INTO WARHAMMER 40,000: MECHANICUS II
Gripping trailer showcases new gameplay, alongside a bold new threat in the turn-based sequel coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S later this year.
May 22, 2025

Leicester, UK - 22nd May 2025 Kasedo Games & Bulwark Studios today released the long-anticipated trailer offering a first look at gameplay for its turn-based tactical sequel Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II, coming to Windows PC, PlayStation®5, & Xbox Series X|S later this year.
The trailer offers a thrilling first glimpse of a new planetary conflict between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the ancient Necron dynasty, in gripping tactical skirmishes across visually diverse and richly detailed battlefields – each teeming with opportunities for strategic domination.
From the forbidding and labyrinthine underworld of the Necron tombs to the highly industrial, techno-religious forge cities of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the trailer showcases a wide range of new environments players will contest in their quest for dominion and discovery across two playable campaigns.
The trailer also reintroduces familiar faces. Magos Dominus Faustinius’ trusted advisors return, this time as deployable and upgradeable leaders of his skirmish forces. Each brings their own unique personality and battlefield specialisation, adding a new strategic layer to your command.
As well as familiar faces, players will encounter the Leagues of Votann for the first time in a Warhammer video game.
Their purpose on the contested world of Hekateus IV remains unknown. Are they fellow seekers of knowledge, mercenaries in search of profit, or something far more dangerous? Their presence raises questions, and their loyalty is anything but guaranteed.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II is coming to Windows PC, PlayStation®5 & Xbox Series X|S.
