Slitherine to showcase Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and Gladius at Games Workshop’s Skulls Festival - WH40K Gladius will be free to play on Steam throughout Warhammer Skulls
Slitherine Software, one of the world’s leading producers and publishers of digital strategy and wargames, has announced that it will be taking part in the legendary Warhammer Skull’s week-long festival of video games, starting today, June 1st, until June 8th.

This has become an annual landmark for the development teams involved with Warhammer and for the invaluable marketing opportunity it brings,” said Marco Minoli, CMO, Slitherine.
The Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector - 2022 Video Roadmap can be viewed here.
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector
For the whole duration of the festival, Battlesector will be discounted by 40%. Additionally, Slitherine will announce a new Faction Pack DLC entitled the Sisters of Battle that will be playable as a full faction later during the year, with a complete roster of units and tailored gameplay mechanics. The DLC is now available to be wishlisted here.
On June 1st Battlesector is receiving a new free update containing one new and powerful unique unit for the Sisters of Battle, the Penitent Engine, and the first round of expansion and new features for Planetary Supremacy: these are the addition of HQ upgrades and complete tech trees for all factions in Planetary Supremacy, a feature which was highly requested by the community.
Regarding future plans, a new game mode will be added to Battlesector as part of a free update: Daemonic Incursion will see players fend off endless hordes of daemons and survive as long as possible. Contextually, several new Daemon units will be added to Planetary Supremacy mode. The new Daemon units in Planetary Supremacy will be released first, while Daemonic Incursion will be released later in a free update alongside the Sisters of Battle DLC. We will be announcing the precise dates as we get closer to their release.
Warhammer 40,000: Gladius
Gladius will be free to play on Steam throughout Warhammer Skulls, giving new players the chance to check it out. The game will also boast its biggest discount ever with 90% off.
Slitherineis also releasing a new DLC, called Escalation Pack, where each of the playable factions in Gladius will receive one new unit. This unit's pack includes fan favourites such as Megatrakk Scrapjets for Orks, Skitarii Rangers for the Adeptus Mechanicus, Hive Guards for Tyranids, and more.
