‘Warhammer: Chaosbane’ Post-Launch DLC Content Detailed
Warhammer: Chaosbane is on the horizon, and with that, Bigben and Eko Software are revealing the endgame for the Action-RPG, as well as the details of all the free and paid content that will be available to players after launch.
But first, the endgame. Once the main quest is finished, players will be able to restart with a new character while keeping everything they’ve previously unlocked: crafting, fragments, money, and so on. Additionally, finishing the game will unlock different endgame modes:
- Expedition mode: the best way to start a fast game, alone or with friends, in randomly-generated levels.
- Relic hunt: the player may purchase a map from the Collector’s Guild in order to get access to a dungeon which offers several difficulty levels and lets players collect heroic gear.
- Boss Rush: lets you confront the campaign bosses as quickly as possible in order to test builds and gear.
As for post-launch plans, Eko plans regular updates available for everyone, including the addition of a new difficulty level and new gear, permanent death mode (for you hardcore Diablo types), a new heroic set for each of the heroes, and finally an increase to maximum character level.
For paid DLC (which are included in the Season Pass), the first DLC will offer new emotes and a passive skill letting you increase the chances of finding heroic items. The following DLC will then add a passive skill letting you more easily find God fragments, as well as an alternative God skill tree for each character. The third DLC will contain new companions for all playable characters. The fourth DLC will contain an entirely new story, told through a new act, separate from the main campaign, and will take place in never-before-seen environments. This time, instead of the forces of Chaos, you’ll face off against ancient undead evil in the form of the Tomb Kings.
Warhammer: Chaosbane will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC starting June 4th, and beginning May 31st for owners of the Magnus Edition and Digital Deluxe.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
