discover several iconic locations such as the cursed city of Praag, or Nuln, the old capital of the Empire.

For those that adore the world of tabletop and love seeing them translate into the video game-sphere, we've got some good news. Warhammer: Chaosbane has been announced and the latest entry into the Warhammer universe is offers a unique RPG flare to the series while showing off that Diablo-esque style.

This is the first entry into the Warhammer universe itself with this particular style of RPG mechanics. According to a recent press release, players will be able to choose between a Wood Elf, High Elf, Dwarf, or as a Human to fight against the Chaos corruption in the Old World. Bigben also described the upcoming game something new while traveling back into the Old World.

"The player will be plunged into the middle of Old World history," Bigben mentioned. The announcement also added that players will "discover several iconic locations such as the cursed city of Praag, or Nuln, the old capital of the Empire."

We don't know much else at this time other than that the game itself is currently in development and that it will be releasing on both console and PC, though specific platforms have not been addressed. With more and more surprising titles making their way to the Nintendo Switch, we'd love to see that jump!
