The Warhammer 40,000 Narrative Finally Looks Set for a Significant Jolt Forward After 500 Worlds Book Teases Long-Awaited Meeting of Primarchs Roboute Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson

Image
Warhammer 40,000 lore fans are in overdrive after a single page of a new campaign book teased something that’s never happened before in the setting: the meeting of two loyalist primarchs. Only two loyalist primarchs are confirmed alive and active in the current Warhammer 40,000 setting: Ultramarines boss Roboute Guilliman, who returned to the galaxy during the Gathering Storm event in 2017, and Dark Angels chief Lion El'Jonson, who miraculously popped back into existence as part of the Arks of Omen storyline in early 2023. Ever since Lion El'Jonson’s shock return to Warhammer 40,000, fans have wondered when he’d finally bump into his brother, Roboute. Now, it looks like that long-awaited family reunion will take place in the coming months, after a new campaign book teased a meeting of the Emperor’s sons. Word comes from Warhammer 40,000 lore expert Arbitor Ian , who IGN has partnered with for a number of explainer videos, such as the one above. Arbitor Ian got an early lo...

Warhammer World, in Nottingham, England, is the focal point for Games Workshop’s various tabletop games and a social hub for the hobby.

Larian CEO Says a Baldur's Gate 3 Switch 2 Port 'Wasn't Our Decision to Make'

Image
Last month, Larian Studios presented console players of Divinity: Original Sin 2 with a special treat: an upgraded version of the game for PS5, Xbox Series, and delightfully, Nintendo Switch 2. But while Original Sin 2 has been on Nintendo's system since 2019, Larian's next game, Baldur's Gate 3, never made it to any Nintendo console. Why not? Well, Larian at least says it wasn't its decision. In a Reddit AMA today conducted by various members of Larian, CEO Swen Vincke took a moment to answer a question about whether or not Baldur's Gate 3 for Nintendo Switch 2 was "even possible". Sadly, his answer wasn't a happy one : "We would have loved to but it's wasn't our decision to make." Vincke is speaking in the past tense because officially, Larian is done with Baldur's Gate 3 . It's still supporting the game with minor bug fixes, but there's no reason to expect the studio to do a whole new release on a new platform no...
