Emerge from the shadows as a sneaky, brutal killer in stealthy action platformer, finally shining a light on the Skaven Ratmen

Vihneek, a powerless Skaven prisoner obsessed with becoming the ultimate Deathmaster assassin, breaks free from his shackles on Warhammer Day today via an all-new trailer revealing the central storyline of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster. Developed by Old Skull Games and published by Dotemu, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster is inspired by the legacy of the greatest 2D action platformer and stealth-enriched indie classics, and will chronicle Vihneek’s dark, gritty quest for bloodshed when it launches on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and XBOX in 2027. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3756700/Warhammer_Age_of_Sigmar_Deathmaster/

Today’s trailer finds Vihneek freed by Skiteek, a fellow Eshin assassin from Clan Skrell – but Vihneek’s savior is ultimately his new captor. Clan Skrell wields Vihneek as a weapon, forcing him to complete deadly contracts at all costs and with no mercy. Every target Vihneek kills propels him higher within the Clan Skrell’s ranks, but looming threats from rival clans swirl in the paranoid, friendless underworld of the Skaven and the fractured depths of the Gnaw… can Vihneek survive his reckless mission to become the most infamous Deathmaster? May it please the Great Horned Rat!

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster’s stealth-focused gameplay will see you springing traps, exploiting your surroundings and outwitting enemies as you ruthlessly carve your fate through the darkest corners of the Skaven world. Slink past threats undetected while devising cunning plans, or savagely slaughter any Skaven who foolishly stands in your way, from cowering dregs to towering rat ogors.

The gritty, atmospheric environments of Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Deathmaster’s striking, merciless world are beautifully twisted with relentless decay, accented with shadows and dark spaces prime for Vihneek to sneak through – and strike from. A richly detailed art style evokes suspense and thrilling tension while delivering a unique, unsettling vision of a Skaven world teeming with secrets that should never be unearthed.
