The first Faction Focus video for Frontier Developments’ real-time strategy game Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin is now available, introducing players to the divine warriors known as the Stormcast Eternals. Featuring all-new gameplay footage that highlights the wide variety of squads, heroes, monsters and machines available in the game, players will be able to command this iconic Age of Sigmar faction for themselves during the open beta on July 7th-10th for PlayStation® 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, along with the cunning and brutal Orruk Kruleboyz.
See the video at the link below:
The Stormcast Eternals are the God-King Sigmar’s chosen warriors, reforged from mortal souls in the land of Azyr, and sent to fight on behalf of the forces of Order. In Realms of Ruin, the Stormcast Eternals are depicted in-game as a formidable and elite army who can dominate when they unleash a combined force of ranged attackers and frontline fighters. Maintaining their control of the battlefield comes at a price, however, and players will need heavy resources to deploy their most potent combatants. They’re also fewer in number than the Orruk Kruleboyz.
Alongside basic melee and ranged squads like the Liberators and Vanguard-Raptors, the Stormcast Eternals field Annihilators who don impenetrable Thunderstrike armour; Prosecutors who soar from the skies and alight the battlefield with a barrage of hammers, and the Stormdrake Guard, capable of wiping out enemies with a single breath of Wyrmflame. Each have distinctive abilities that can reshape the battle when they’re activated at key moments.
This first Faction Focus instalment also introduces console players to Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin’s DirectStep™ control scheme. Designed to give Xbox and PlayStation® users an intuitive and comfortable RTS experience, DirectStep™ enables players to quickly issue orders, cycle through squads, create groups of units and shift perspective of the battlefield with a few simple button taps.
The Stormcast Eternals are just one of four factions coming to Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, each closely adapted from Games Workshop’s ultimate fantasy tabletop game. More will be revealed soon, alongside additional ways to play the game.
