Neocore Games have released the Prophecy expansion for their Warhammer 40,000 action-RPG, Inquisitor – Martyr.
This second chapter in the game’s story includes a whole new campaign that introduces the Tech-Adept class and two new enemy races: Aeldari and Tyranids. You can find a launch trailer above.
The core game recently significantly overhauled the core combat mechanics, endgame, and loot drops, all of which carried over to the expansion.
Here’s a rundown of the new content:
WARHAMMER 40,000: INQUISITOR – PROPHECY
Deep within the darkest reaches of the remote Caligari Sector, beyond barriers formed by churning Warp-surges, lies a vast area tainted by the Chaos Gods and threatened by the rise of the foul Xenos. On the barren Death Worlds the hideous Tyranids are slowly coming back from their hibernation, long decades after the defeat of their colossal Hive Fleet, while the Imperium of Mankind faces a new wave of unexplained attacks by Aeldari warriors fleeing their dying Craftworld. And if that wasn’t enough to alarm the Holy Inquisition, a mysterious presence with potentially devastating powers has returned from the Warp on the long-lost “Martyr”, destined to fulfil a prophecy that could change the fate of the entire Sector.
A STAND-ALONE EXPANSION
Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Prophecy is a stand-alone expansion for the grim action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, set in the violent 41st millennium, when the galaxy is at constant war. Purge the unclean with the most powerful agents of the Imperium!
Now you can also carry out the Emperor’s will as a Tech-Adept Inquisitor, a former acolyte of the Adeptus Mechanicus who decided to join the Holy Ordos to become one of the mightiest agents of the Imperium; combining the sacred technological mysteries with the relentless dogma of the Inquisition, he has become an unstoppable force. Or continue the unfolding saga of the Alpha Pariah with one of the original three classes introduced in Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr in a Caligari Sector slowly succumbing to madness and war.
