Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch is coming to PC and consoles from publisher Frontier Foundry and developer Complex Games, who previously surprised with Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters. The announcement came via the 2026 Skulls event stream, and we’ve got all the details (and the first trailer) right here.
“Lead the Long Vigil and take command of an elite Deathwatch Kill Team in the next brutal chapter of this critically acclaimed turn-based tactical RPG. Supported by agents of the Inquisition and Astra Militarum as newly sanctioned Inquisitors, commanders will wage war to drive back deadly Xenos threats and resist the corrupting forces of Chaos.”
Though no release window has been set, the first trailer (which you can watch below) delivers both in-engine and pre-rendered action. It also confirms a PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S launch.
As far as we know, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Deathwatch, much like its predecessor, will focus on single-player gameplay, with the campaign mixing turn-based strategy, tactics, and classical RPG progression as you build and develop an elite squad that can extend beyond the Deathwatch and also include “fanatical Inquisitorial agents”. A highly customisable Skirmish mode has also been confirmed.
“Rising to power as Interrogator Bastian Rath, players are thrust into command amid a conspiracy threatening the stability of the Tyrian expanse. Across scorched planets, commanders will decide the fate of the sector and the Imperium’s future within it as they uncover the truth left behind in the wake of Inquisitor Rykov.”
