If you’ve ever looked at the dark, violent, and claustrophobic warrens of the underhive and thought “I’d love to take my dog for a walk there,” then do we have some good news for you.
Step into the shoes of a vicious mercenary hunter in a new fast-paced and brutal first-person shooter for PC and consoles. Necromunda: Hired Gun is a collaboration from Games Workshop and the makers of Space Hulk: Deathwing, just take a look at the epic trailer…
Necromunda: Hired Gun is the first-ever real-time action game set within the Imperium’s most notorious hive city, where you’ll hunt down some of the most dangerous bounties around with the only two things you can trust at your side: your guns and your cyber-mastiff. We know what you’re thinking, and the answer’s yes – you can give your loyal companion a good pat on the head.
The writers and designers at Games Workshop have worked hand-in-hand with developers Streum On and publisher Focus Home Interactive to create the most authentic eye-level look at an underhive you’ve ever seen. Customise everything from your guns to your own cybernetic enhancements to get the crucial edge – it’s a dark and lethal place down there, after all, and a quick trigger finger will only get you so far.
The game is set in a big hive full of wretched scum and mutants, so you’ll have your work cut out to get past them to reach the heads that really matter. Luckily, you have a huge arsenal of weapons at your disposal, all customisable to suit your exacting specifications, whether it’s a dependable autogun or something altogether more exotic in your hands.
Make sure you stay tuned to Warhammer Community for more information.

Necromunda: Hired Gun comes to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on the 1st of June.
