Eisenhorn: XENOS Coming Soon

2016 is a very good year for fans of the Warhammer Franchise. Total War: Warhammer, Man O' War Corsair and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada are all being released as well as DLC incoming for Blood Bowl 2. That list has just grown yet again with the announcement that pixel hero games, of Spiral fame, are creating a new game based on the Eisenhorn series of novels. 

The game will be called Eisenhorn: XENOS, and is based on the book of the same name, set in the Warhammer 40k universe. It's set to release on 19th May on PC via Steam, with iOS and Android versions arriving later this year. 

Eisenhorn: XENOS follows the journey of Gregor Eisenhorn (voiced by Kingsman and Robin Hood star Mark Strong), an inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos – Alien hunters of the Imperium on his quest to hunt down an ancient tome of evil origin. Set in a dystopian, fantasy universe and following the book’s storyline, players can experience events throughthe viewpoint of the titular character, using stealth, psychic powers and a vast array of weapons.

“We are tremendously excited to be working with Games Workshop on such a unique project,” said Pixel Hero Games Studio Head Nader Alikhani. “Adapting the incredibly rich source material of ‘Xenos’ into a compelling adventure game, and allowing players to experience the inner workings of the Imperium of man through Eisenhorn’s fabled eyes is an opportunity I’m sure no fan will want to miss.”
