Classic Warhammer and Warhammer 40K Games Now on Steam

Games Workshop has partnered with re-release specialists SNEG to launch the Warhammer Classics initiative, bringing nearly 30 vintage titles from the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 (40K) franchises to Steam. The announcement on April 13, 2026, marks a significant effort to preserve the digital legacy of the franchise by making these games available to modern audiences on Valve’s storefront.

The initiative includes a total of 28 games, consisting of titles that are debuting on Steam for the first time and others that are returning to the store after being unavailable for several years. According to SNEG, the collection spans multiple genres, including real-time strategy, turn-based tactics, first-person shooters, and digital board games.

Debut Titles on Steam

Seven specific titles are making their first appearance on the Steam platform. These are divided between the Warhammer fantasy range and the sci-fi 40K universe.

• Warhammer Fantasy: The debut includes the 1996 real-time strategy game Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, its 1998 successor Warhammer: Dark Omen, and Warhammer: Mark of Chaos – Gold Edition.
• Warhammer 40,000: The sci-fi debuts include the turn-based Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, the first-person shooter Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, the tabletop-inspired Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000, and the strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War.

Returning Classics and Technical Modernization

Alongside the debuts, more than a dozen titles are returning to the Steam storefront. This group includes a wide array of cult favorites and specialized simulations such as Space Hulk (2013), Space Hulk: Ascension, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, and Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach.

Other returning titles include Talisman: Horus Heresy, Talisman: Origins, Talisman: Digital Classic Edition (4th Edition), Man O’ War: Corsair – Warhammer Naval Battles, Warhammer Quest, and Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times.

To ensure these older titles remain playable, SNEG has updated each debut and returning title for compatibility with modern operating systems. The goal of these updates is to maintain the original gameplay experience while providing smooth performance on current hardware.

Warhammer has been a cornerstone of PC gaming since the 1990s, spanning genres from real-time strategy and turn-based tactics to fantasy sports, digital board games, and first-person shooters. With Warhammer Classics, these defining chapters of its legacy are brought back for modern audiences
