A new trailer for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster has been released, showcasing the central storyline of the game. The game follows Vihneek, a powerless Skaven prisoner obsessed with becoming the ultimate Deathmaster assassin. He breaks free from his chains on Warhammer Day, revealing the dark and ruthless pursuit of bloodshed that Vihneek is driven by.
The game is developed by Old Skull Games and published by Dotemu, and is inspired by the best 2D action-platformers and stealth indie classics. It is set to release in 2027 for PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. The trailer shows Vihneek being freed by Skiteek, an Eshin assassin from the Skrell clan, but ultimately reveals that his rescuer is actually his new captor.
The Skrell clan forces Vihneek to carry out deadly missions at any cost and without mercy, and with each target he eliminates, he rises through the ranks of the clan. The game features a focus on stealth gameplay, allowing players to set up traps, use the environment to their advantage, and outsmart their enemies, all while navigating the dark and treacherous world of the Skaven.
The game's atmosphere is dark and foreboding, with a focus on stealth and strategy. The game's graphics are detailed and atmospheric, creating a sense of tension and unease, and offering a unique and unsettling vision of a Skaven world full of secrets that are better left unspoken.
