TheWarhammerfranchise is a true behemoth of the gaming world, and seems to show no sign of slowing. Started in 1983 by British-based miniature wargame company Games Workshop, the originalWarhammerFantasy Battlehas since expanded into dozens of different types of media. It even spawned a sci-fi spin-off,Warhammer 40,000, which has arguably gone on to become more famous than the original IP.
Supported by a constant supply of tabletop games, videogames, books, and other media,theWarhammerfranchisehas seen a recent surge in popularity. Building on this surge, Games Workshop has announced a new subscription service forWarhammerfans. The service, called Warhammer+, offers a lot more than most similar subscriptions, reflectingWarhammer’s broad interest.
Warhammer+ Core Features
Although these features will certainly be of interest todie-hardWarhammerfans, they’re not what give the Warhammer+ subscription its unique selling point. After all, this isn’t a subscription to a single media service like Netflix, it’s a subscription to an entire franchise. As such, it covers every aspect of theWarhammerIP.
Warhammer+ Unique Features
It’s clear that Games Workshop is incorporating the full range of theWarhammerfranchise into the Warhammer+ subscription, something that few other services have ever attempted. This even includes exclusive bonuses atliveWarhammereventsin the future, although few details have been given so far as to what these special event bonuses could entail. Regardless, the idea of such a broad subscription that covers digital, physical, and live content is a new one, and something that franchises beyondWarhammermay be inspired by.
