Dotemu and Old Skull Games have announced that Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.
Pitched as “a new self-contained, single-player 2D action platformer, you will set out “on a dark tale of treachery as the hooded Ratman Vihneek, an ambitious killer devoted to ascending to the top of his shadowy Eshin clan at all costs.”
Vihneek’s sinister masters demand unwavering loyalty, but a Skaven’s ambition knows no limits, even when scheming on the precipice of doom. Vihneek’s story is anchored in the rich lore of the Age of Sigmar, where the Skaven have erupted to seize the Mortal Realms for themselves.
“Set traps, exploit your surroundings and outwit enemies as you ruthlessly carve your fate through the darkest corners of the Skaven world,” the publisher outlines in a press release. “Slink past threats undetected while devising cunning plans, savagely slaughtering any Skaven who foolishly stands in your way, from cowering dregs to towering rat ogors.”
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in 2027.
