Warhammer: Chaosbane - The Forges Update Live

The Forges is the latest content update for Eko Software and Bigben Interactive’s hack ‘n’ slash action-RPG Warhammer: Chaosbane. It expands the game with a new act and introduces the Dwarf Engineer Keela Gunnarsdottir to the character roster. The update also adds some new enemies, fixes a few miscellaneous issues and rebalances a number of systems.

Here’s a trailer that showcases the new character:

And some update highlights:

The firm grip of Chaos holds sway over the Old World, as the battle rages on, a new hero emerges, Keela, the dwarf engineer joins the roster of heroes with this update. She's a feisty brawler who excels in close to mid-range combat, using her hammer and pistol to decimate through the Chaos hordes. As a talented mechanic, she uses her contraptions to turn the tides, and her archetype ability will have you managing a heat gauge to make sure she's delivering out maximum punishment. Some might say, it's hammer time!

Speaking of hammers, the Forges are open! Heinrich Falke, the Gunnery Master of the Imperial Gunnery school requests the aid of any able-bodied adventurers. The headmaster and senior members of the School have been trapped inside; rumors have it that new monsters are roaming these hallowed halls.
