Feast your eyes on the glorious new teaser trailer for the much anticipated animation Astartes II:
Did you think we’d forgotten about this?
That’s fair. It has been a little while since we’ve had real news on the project. Well, now you can rest assured that – while these things take time – work is well and truly underway on the animation.
The Warhammer Studio and the creator of the original Astartes animation, Syama, have been working closely together, blending his incredible flair for action and storytelling with decades of Warhammer 40,000 lore to unleash a compellingly grimdark story.
This teaser trailer is not actually clips from the new animation, instead showing a compilation of shots that represent the former lives of the characters that will appear in the show. There’s a pretty unsubtle hint at the end as to the nature of the final story... We’ll leave you to speculate and start putting the pieces together yourselves.
Astartes II is set to land in 2026. We know, it’s still a little way off, but it’ll be worth it.
In the meantime, there are loads of other great animations on the way. Catch up on our existing animations on Warhammer+, including Return to Cadia, a new standalone story in the Hammer and Bolter series which arrived just last week.
