Nearly 20 Warhammer games have been added to Steam, with discounts of up to 90% available for a limited time. The Warhammer universe traces its origins to tabletop wargames and pen-and-paper role-playing games from the 1980s, but by the 1990s, the franchise had expanded to include computer games as well. Both the Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K series include numerous classic titles that explore genres such as MMORPGs, strategy games, and first-person shooters.
The franchise is known for its vast array of factions in Warhammer Fantasy, which also boasts one of the largest collections of races and cultures in fantasy pop culture. The universe depicted in Warhammer 40K, on the other hand, is considered one of the most unique science-fiction worlds ever created, where humans in the future fight for survival against aliens and demons. With such extensive lore and a vast library of titles, the Warhammer franchise resurfaces in the gaming community from time to time, whether in the context of new announcements or a return to classic releases.
