any word of mordheim 2 ?

[lazyox]

I know necromunda seems to have killed off the idea. But every time in totalwar warhammer 3 i take the city of mordheim I feel sad. I really liked this game. I would love a 1st/3rd person mmo like what fallout 76 has become. Still shocked they pulled that one out of the crapper. And made it fun to play. With your trusty group of NPCs following you as you looted and battled other groups, Camp building warp stone traders it could be awesome.

Not in development, I am afraid. Best we can do is mods for the first one.

I will accept that mordheim was so popular at one point in tabletop it had a magazine with many different warbands. I only stopped playing due to having finished all the campaigns.

Developers were bought up, released a scam unfinished mess of a game, and were dissolved.

Not gonna happen.

Afaik they are developing a new game from an original IP.

I think, it would be enough to be able to unpack and mod the files and add the steam workshop. I dont know the Mordheim board game rules, only warhammer total war 1 and 2, but I dont like when board game rules are transferred exactly to a pc game which looks realistic because its unbelievable that way. I would rather keep the board game graphics, or better change the rules so that its believable for a realistic game. in any case, I would want to change a lot of things. But I also hope that something will happen, because I think the setting and the game idea are very good.

There is a tread to discuss Mordheim 2 and what you would like to see done with it.

Second, I was at the GDC and no word on Mordheim 2. Have to understand that Mordheim is now 10 years old. It was this developers first game and GW has full control on what happens with Mordheim in the future. The original creators do go on many occasions go as guests on many of the Table Top Podcasts.

With the resurgences of AI generators and vastly superior Engine tools than when Mordheim was done (Unity) 10 years ago would probably make the games development more precise, faster, and better executed, BUT that is GW's decision. There are petitions and inquiries made to GWs who have their own the publishing rights to Mordheim, so your best bet is to go through them with your inquiries.

They proceed very slowly, very carefully.

I am unclear on their relationship today.
Games Workshop have strong ties with a ton of developers.
Have to remember these things take a ton of money and time.
In my opinion, did RF learn from their Mordheim experience for Necro.
No, they made some of the same mistakes and their DLC releases were much worse than Mordheim, but two different games.
Both games had a net positive in revenue. They have profited more on discounts than the original entries and that all gets dwindled down in costs, shared profit margins with other partners, and taxation.
So clearly, if Games Workshop and Rogue Nation wanted to do a Mordheim 2. They could, or GW could simply seek another developer.


There is always a chance, but I would doubt Mordheim 2 would be the same in a alot of ways.
As developers grow, add more personnel, more experience, their releases SHOULD get better, more defined and simply solid.

All I will say is you never know. The bottom line is this, ANY such meeting or venture the first question is. Can M2 be more profitable than M1. If the answer is yes, then maybe one day you may see it.

i guess a good first step would be to revive the board game. it has been 25 years now since the original release. if there is any chance for this, it would actually be now, with the release of "the old world". as mordheim has taken timeline wise place before "the world that has been", the same as "the old world" it would absolutely make sense. i think if we eventually should get a rerelease of the board game, there might be some interest from gw to tackle a new mordheim computer game as well. i would strongly hope for both, board game and computer game, but as for now, who knows what they plan. :/

You're spot on - they would re-release the tabletop game first I'm sure. There is a chance of this since they seem to have cooled down on Warcry which is the fantasy skirmish game that pretty much replaced Mordheim slot in the lineup. No one knows for sure though - at this stage I think GW are testing old world success before confirming next steps.

No. The devs are currently working on a Souls-like.
