Probably the biggest announcement at the event was the reveal of a new real-time strategy game set in the fantasy world of Age of Sigmar.

With Speed Freeks, a new game was announced at the Warhammer event Skulls, in which you get behind the wheel of an orc car and take on other greenskins in fast-paced races. The racer will be free and is already playable (as Alpha on Steam).
New gameplay for Space Marine 2
With Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, Saber Interactive is releasing a new action game before the end of 2023, in which you go out as an elite soldier and use your blaster rifle and chainsaw sword to really bring down rows and rows of enemies.
