00:03 Warhammer 40,000 Battle Sector is a game
00:10 that speaks loudly to the Warhammer 40,000 fans.
00:13 Black Lab Games did an exceptional job
00:15 at delivering this experience in digital form
00:18 when we first launched the game.
00:19 Now it's time to look into the future of Warhammer 40,000
00:23 Battle Sector.
00:24 We want to extend a great thank you to Black Lab Games
00:26 for allowing us to be here today and talk about this future
00:29 with confidence.
00:30 This February, we released the latest DLC
00:37 for Warhammer 40,000 Battle Sector, the Tau.
00:40 Tau faction has joined the fighting battle sector
00:42 with 14 new units and brand new HQ abilities.
00:46 With the Tau DLC, we also released the map builder
00:49 and campaign editor.
00:50 These new in-game tools allow PC players
00:52 to create and share unique maps and campaigns,
00:54 while players on all platforms can download and play
00:57 creations that have been uploaded.

01:02 For the new era of Battle Sector,
01:04 we need and want to update our multiplayer system.
01:07 Firstly, we want to expand our tournament formats.
01:10 Secondly, we keep growing the number of maps
01:13 available as battlefields.
01:14 We want to add official ranking within Battle Sector.
01:17 We want to give our community the possibility
01:19 to play both in public matches for fun
01:22 and in ranked games for a more focused challenge.
01:25 The Planetary Supremacy mode was added to Battle Sector
01:27 ahead of Skulls in 2022.
01:30 We continue to tweak and improve this mode,
01:32 but we know that there is so much potential for it
01:34 and that you guys deserve so much more.
01:36 A big part in our plans for Battle Sector
01:39 is not just to tweak Planetary Supremacy,
01:41 but to completely overhaul it.
01:43 We want to reimagine what it is and what it can be.
01:47 It's not ready for public view yet,
01:48 but we're looking forward to show you when it's time.
01:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:54 We know that our players love the Age of Crimson Dawn
01:57 campaign that comes with Battle Sector.
01:59 We know that you would like to see a lot more narrative
02:01 campaigns from us.
02:03 We can't say yet what they are, but we
02:05 promise that they're coming.
02:06 And we're really looking forward to telling more stories
02:09 with Battle Sector.
02:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:14 We released our very first free unit, the Primary Sin
02:17 Victor Tactical World Suit.
02:18 We decided to do it again for this year's Skulls.
02:20 And we are now adding one more free unit.
02:23 With the latest patch of the game releasing today,
02:25 we are adding three of them.
02:26 First up is the Necron's Royal Warden.
02:28 They wield a potent Relic Gauss Blaster
02:30 and possess enough initiative to use adaptive strategies
02:33 to increase the effectiveness of nearby forces.
02:35 And then for the Tyranid faction are the Pyro Vore
02:39 and the Bio Vore.
02:40 The Pyro Vore is a hulking mobile flamethrower
02:42 and digestive bio form.
02:44 Their dorsal mounted weapon can engulf entire squads of prey.
02:47 And the burning spray can melt away some of the strongest
02:50 arm.
02:50 The Bio Vore is a piece of living artillery
02:52 that the swarm has evolved into a very different battlefield
02:55 role.
02:56 That's all for today's Skulls patch release.
02:58 I'm sure they're already asking, but what's next?
03:01 We are delighted to announce that the next major faction
03:03 for Battle Sector is in the works.
03:04 And the Commissar has given me direct permission to reveal--
03:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:11 That's right, soldiers.
03:16 The Astra Militarum are coming to Battle Sector.
