Battlefleet Gothic: Armada Trailer and First Screenshots Revealed

Focus Home Interactive and Tindalos Interactive have released a trailer for the upcoming real-time strategy adaptation of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, the tabletop game from Games Workshop.

The developers have this to say about their upcoming project alongside with the YouTube trailer release:

The game stages the mighty armada of the Imperial Navy’s Battlefleet Gothic against the insidious and galaxy-threatening Chaos Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler in dark, deadly and intense space battles from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This first video teaser is a prelude to intense space combat in command of huge battle cruisers - true metal behemoths - several kilometers long and armed to the teeth.

Developed on Unreal Engine 4, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is an RTS in which the player takes command of one of these battlefleets composed of the most powerful spaceships from the Imperial, Chaos, Eldar and Ork forces, in a no-quarter given struggle for the control of the Gothic sector of space.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada offers deep management of every ship composing the player’s fleet, both during and between battles. From the fastest frigates to the gigantic, miles-long battleships, the player will customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defense and support sub-systems, etc… each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle. From battle to battle, the admirals and crew of surviving ships will gain experience and promotions, improving the battle-readiness of the ships for future, bigger and more dangerous battles.

There are also three screenshots revealed from the early developmental version.

From what we can glean from the available information so far, the game seems set for the PC platform. More information about Battlefleet Gothic: Armada will be announced by the developers in an upcoming press release.
