Unannounced Warhammer RPG Canceled After Publisher Withdraws Funding
The fantasy action RPG by Thought Pennies was in development for three years before its abrupt cancellation last year.
- The canceled game was reportedly a co-op PvE action RPG set in a dark fantasy Warhammer universe, featuring unique heroes and playstyles.
- Thought Pennies, a remote RPG studio, had been developing the project using Unreal Engine 5 with a team of nearly 60 employees before layoffs occurred.
- The project was described as a 'multiplatform, social role-playing game' and a 'fantasy live-service RPG,' though exact details remain unclear.
- The cancellation followed a strategic shift by the unnamed publisher, which withdrew financial support despite positive development progress and feedback.
- Games Workshop, owner of the Warhammer IP, has stated it is actively seeking its next major video game success following the popularity of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
