Largely expanding on the groundwork laid out by the first game, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a full-blown sequel - bigger, richer, more impressive and more ambitious than the original game.

It will include, at launch, all 12 factions from the original tabletop game and its expansion Armada it is based on: the Imperial Navy, Space Marines, Adeptus Mechanicus, Necrons, Chaos, Aeldari Corsairs, Aeldari Craftworld, Drukhari, the T’au Merchant and Protector Fleets, Orks, and finally, the Tyranids.

The latest dramatic story development in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Gathering Storm and the 13th Black Crusade, will serve as the canvas for several, extensive and dynamic campaigns.

With bigger battles, refined gameplay, improved multiplayer modes and features for a better and more balanced online experience, improvements across the board and even more customisation options for fleets and ships, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 promises to be the ultimate Warhammer 40,000 space battle experience.

The game is planned for release on PC in 2018, and will be first presented to the press during Focus's yearly event in Paris, le What's Next de Focus, on February 7-8.

And if it will indeed already include TWELVE armies at the start, it's already one part of everything we hoped for and more. Maaaan, what a happy daaaaay. \:D/

The Emporer has come! The warp storm subsided!

The Imperium has reclaimed what was lost to the Chaos scum!

And it looks like this takes place during the 13th Black Crusade! Looked like the trailer featured the still very new Primaris Marines and speaks of the Ultramarines' Primarch's return. X)

Hey devs please remove the campaign-style progression system from offline skirmish mode. After finishing over a hundred battles over the course of the campaign I was all excited to try orks out, and then I realized that I would have to grind my way up from scratch and I wouldn't be able to field a battleship at all without winning dozens of matches. Same thing when you added space marines and tau.

Just make it like ranked mode where you have everything unlocked already and you can try out any fleet composition. That's the only problem I have with BFG and I'd be very disappointed if things turn out the same in BFG2.

Hopefully, Abaddon will get a REAL ship this time. Something that would be like pouring salt in an open wound for the Imperial navy. Something whose very existance would be a testiment to the failure of the Emperor's Primarchs, the Adeptus Custodes, and even the Emperor himself.

He could call it something cool, like the "Vengeful Spirit". That would be cool...

All (not really) kidding aside though, I hope they do a LOT better job at balancing the campaign this time around. It wasn't necissarily Blitzkrieg 3 bad, but there were more than a few missions where you could have used a few more points so there was a better buffer.
