Warhammer 40k: Space Wolf is a free-to-play turn based tactical card game in development by HeroCraft. It sounds like the game is trying to be a lot of things but looking at the video and some screenshots it might just be able to pull it off. The game is expected to release some time in 2014 on Android, iOS, and PC.

Check out the trailer below and read on after the break for the full press release.

Warhammer® 40,000®: Space Wolf
TURN BASED COLLECTIBLE CARD VIDEO GAME Announced

August 16th 2013, Kaliningrad, Russia – HeroCraft are pleased to announce a licence partnership with Games Workshop®. Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf will be a new turn-based tactical combat video game, using collectible cards to drive the on-screen actions of the 3D characters. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the free to play game is in full development for a 2014 release on iOS, Android and PC.

“HeroCraft have presented us with a unique and exciting vision for a game based on this most evocative and barbaric chapter of Space Marines – the Space Wolves.” said Jon Gillard, Head of Licensing at Games Workshop. “Given that, their clear passion for the IP, and their experience in the market, we are only too happy to be working with them on this project.”

“We are all very excited to work with Games Workshop on this project, particularly our development team, who are not only games industry veterans but also Warhammer 40,000 fans who know the series well. As a gamer myself, I’m also excited about the mix of tactical turn based play using my own deck of cards to lead my Space Wolves to victory – I can’t wait to play it!” says Alexey Sazonov, Sales and Marketing Director of HeroCraft.

Unsurprisingly there is still a wide customer base that prefers to get their content via a monthly subscription rather than being nickle and dimed at every corner. 13 year olds are surely sad at the news of no WoW free to play, but smart gamers everywhere should applaud Blizzards decision.
