Fans of classic Warhammer PC gaming have a reason to open Steam right now. Publisher SNEG, in partnership with Games Workshop, launched the Warhammer Classics collection on April 13, bringing more than 26 titles from the last three decades of the franchise back to PC. Seven of those games are making their Steam debut outright, having never previously been available on Valve’s storefront.
The seven new-to-Steam additions are some genuine classics: Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, Warhammer: Dark Omen, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos — Gold Edition, Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000, Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War, and Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior. Twelve additional titles are returning to the platform after varying periods of unavailability, including Space Hulk, Space Hulk: Ascension, Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach, Man O’ War: Corsair, Warhammer Quest, and others. Each title has been updated for compatibility with modern systems, with the original gameplay experience preserved.
SNEG director Oleg Klapovskiy framed the launch as a preservation effort: the goal is to “safeguard this legacy for future generations” and ensure Warhammer’s foundational PC gaming history does not disappear from accessible digital storefronts. For context, SNEG has done similar work with D&D Gold Box Classics and Temple of Elemental Evil, so this is not a fly-by-night operation. A launch sale with discounts across all titles and curated bundles is running for one week.
This is a exciting release for anyone who grew up with these games. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate is an XCOM-style classic that deserves a modern audience, and Shadow of the Horned Rat holds a specific nostalgia for early-90s Warhammer Fantasy fans. With Disney actively pulling classic games from Steam, seeing publishers and developers actively work to keep classic titles accessible is genuinely welcome. Grab these while the sale is running. Let us know in the forums which titles you’re most glad to see back.
