It comes as no surprise, following the disappearance of Warhammer 40K: Wrath & Glory from the Ulisses websites and DriveThruRPG as well as the company’s no show at Warhammer Fest UK 19, Ulisses Spiele has lost the license to produce roleplaying games based on the WH40K universe from Games Workshop. Picking up the baton and moving forward with the game property is Cubicle 7 Entertainment, who will work with W&G designers to release previously announced products. No word yet if C7 will be revamping the mechanics of the game to bring it more in line with their own GW licensed RPGs. The first release planned will be a revised core rulebook for the setting.
The Games Workshop announcement:
Games Workshop is pleased to announce that award-winning publisher Cubicle 7 Entertainment is to produce Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying games.
Cubicle 7 CEO Dominic McDowall said, ”Warhammer 40K is a huge chunk of our gamer DNA so we are all incredibly excited to build on the long legacy of 40K RPGs. I’ve been a 40K fanatic since the first edition, so I am absolutely delighted to bring our brand of roleplaying to this amazing setting.”
The initial range of products will be a revised reprint of the Wrath & Glory Core Rulebook and an extensive range of supplements covering exciting new areas, as well as revisiting beloved old favourites. Cubicle 7 hope that their track record of producing beautiful and immersive licensed games that capture the feel of their settings – including Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay – will appeal to Warhammer 40K gamers old and new.
Cubicle 7 is working with Ulisses’ Wrath & Glory design team to deliver the titles already planned for the game. Ulisses will continue to publish the German language edition of Wrath & Glory, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and the Warhammer Age of Sigmar roleplaying games, in partnership with Cubicle 7.
Cubicle 7’s new license comes on the back of a year of enormous growth for the company, with a huge increase in staffing and capability to deliver its range of best-selling game lines.
