New for Necromunda in 2027

Games Workshop has completely cancelled the planned Warhammer Necromunda Roleplay tabletop game just a month after its initial September 18 announcement. The sudden cancellation was revealed alongside the official 2027 Necromunda roadmap, which instead directs company efforts toward miniature production for the core game. The revised 2027 lineup highlights new miniatures, vehicles, and expansions set in locations such as the Ash Wastes, Underhells, and Cinderak City. Additionally, pre-orders for new House Orlock miniatures are scheduled for the weekend following the announcement.
