Developer Thought Pennies has revealed that the cancelled Warhammer project that it was working on was based on Age of Sigmar.
Reports emerged last week that a Warhammer project was cancelled, but at the time no details were revealed at the time. Now, a spokesperson has revealed to Eurogamer that the game was based on Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, and that it was a collaborative effort between Thought Pennies, Games Workshop and Nexon.
While the partnership worked well and we got a lot of good input from Nexon, Nexon made a strategic change. Late last year we agreed to end the project and Nexon is helping as a board member.

The Warhammer: Age of Sigmar RPG was in development for consoles, PC, and mobile devices. The project was first revealed during a press release regarding Games Workshop and Nexon teaming up for a new Warhammer game, although Thought Pennies was not mentioned. Here’s what it said:
It is an era of war. The Mortal Realms have been despoiled. Ravaged by the followers of the Chaos Gods, they stand on the brink of destruction. Players will command the war hosts of the God-king Sigmar and his allies as they fight to reignite hope and bring order back to the realms. Each season, players will collect characters and enter new realms. Each character comes with unique options, stories and gameplay. Players will be able to customise their characters and work cooperatively to guide how sections of the Realms are retaken.
The last major release in the series came in the form of 2024’s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which arrived in September for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
