Robin Valentine managed to score an exclusive first look at Realms of Ruin, saying that, 'Frontier is aiming for a fast and super accessible take on the genre. Developer Frontier has said it'll have four factions, with the first two revealed as the 'what if Chaos Warriors were good guys' Stormcast Eternals and the swamp-dwelling Orruk Kruleboyz.

Realms of Ruin promises to turn Age of Sigmar into an RTS with a full singleplayer campaign as well as pacey multiplayer. The RTS genre has been good for Warhammer games, with the first two entries in the Dawn of War series still held up as classics. Even after taking on a clan of orks and the forces of Chaos in the first game, the massive amount of enemies the Saber Swarm Engine can throw around should prove a challenge. Titus will need all that extra strength and speed, since he'll apparently be facing 'thousands of tyranids', as seen swarming impressively in the latest trailer. A relatively recent addition to Warhammer 40,000, this new generation of space marines are even beefier than the vanilla variety, who have been retroactively dubbed the Firstborn. Space Marine 2 will pick up the adventures of Ultramarine Captain Titus after he's ascended to become one of the Primaris. The original Space Marine was a bombastic hack-and-shooter with a mechanic that gave health back for performing melee takedowns which now seems ahead of its time. The licence was picked up by Saber Interactive, developer of World War Z: Aftermath and Evil Dead: The Game. Get it, 'out of the blue' because it's about Ultramarines… I'll get my coat. We'd given up on ever seeing a follow-up to Relic's 2011 third-person action game, and then a sequel was announced out of the blue in December of 2021.

Speed Freeks fills about half of each team with bots who are easy to wreck as a way of making sure you get into matches, which I prefer over either having to wait for ages, or playing against the kind of excessively sweaty no-lifers who dominate almost every multiplayer game in time. Though the alpha version tested on Steam had this one mode and was described as 'a bit scrappy, ramshackle and bolted together – just like the Orks that drive in it' by its developers, I found it held together surprisingly well and looked pretty schmick too. Speed Freeks is a take on Twisted Metal where two teams of ork hoons in buggies and tanks blast each other while racing to take and hold checkpoints, then bolt to the finish line.

A game called Gorkamorka by Ripcord was in the works at one point, but never got past the prototype stage with just a CG trailer to show for it. A car combat game with orks is one of those obvious ideas we've been waiting for someone to fully realize for years.
