War has raged under Calth long after the actions on the surface, protracted conflicts to slay entrenched Word Bearers throughout the planets depths carry on. It has been 4 years since Squad Acastus secured a teleportarium and routed the Word Bearers from their librarium outpost.
Our story picks up with a Legion Moritat, Orestes, attempting to rescue Calth Defence Forces from being sacrificed by Word Bearer cultists.

Enjoy the planet Calth on our beautiful new title screen!
ACT 3 is by far the biggest release so far with 6 new single player levels and 4 new unit types.
A number of UI updates have arrived, as always they are part of an ongoing process of updates. New Marine models are in the process of being added, they are in singleplayer at the moment and will be coming to multiplayer and other game modes as future updates roll out. For VR users, gameplay should be more stable, but we still have a lot of future changes coming up for those users specifically. Some sound fx have been updated.
