About Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada poster

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is a real-time strategy game adapting Games Workshop's tabletop classic to PC, throwing the Chaos, Imperium, Eldar, and Orks into brutal space combat. Built on Unreal Engine 4, it puts remarkable depth into fleet management, both mid-battle and in the quieter moments between engagements.

Command runs deep here. From nimble frigates all the way up to colossal, miles-long battleships, you tailor every aspect of your vessels, weaponry, defensive and support sub-systems, crew, captains, and more, with each tweak shaping how a ship performs and which special abilities you can call on in the heat of a fight. Surviving ships and their crews carry experience and promotions from one battle to the next, steadily improving as the conflicts grow larger and more dangerous.

A substantial story campaign sets you inside the Gothic War during the 12th Black Crusade, placing you at the center of the clash between the Imperium and Abaddon the Despoiler as Chaos launches a chain of surprise assaults on Imperial worlds. An extensive multiplayer mode supports persistent fleets and lets up to four players battle at once.
