Hello everyone,
As we've launched Warhammer: Chaosbane you might have a few questions about the game and its features. We've compiled a series of questions and answer that you could have.
Please note that this F.A.Q is not final and is subject to changes in the coming days.
Thank you!
What type of game is Warhammer: Chaosbane?
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a topdown (isometric ARPG) set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles Universe. Take up arms as one of four classes and battle the forces of Chaos with up to four players (in local and online co-op).
What is the content of the Season Pass?
The season pass contains four pieces of post-launch content designed to enrich and expand your experience with Warhammer: Chaosbane.
Season Pass - 4 Pieces of Post-Launch DLC Content
- Cosmetic Pets
- Cosmetic Emotes
- An alternative God Skill Tree for each character (new passive and active abilities, new ways to build your character, by making offerings to a new god).
- Entire new act to the game (new location, new enemies, new story - unrelated to the main campaign).
Please Note: Development of the season pass content will occur after the release of Warhammer: Chaosbane, with updates releasing at a varied pace post-launch.

There are a variety of endgame modes available in Warhammer: Chaosbane. We have a video explaining some of the end game content here (link), and we’ve done a more in-depth write up about these in a post here: https://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791463482849/announcements/detail/3239689462654607631
What post-launch support will there be? How often the game will be updated?
There will be regular updates to the game, sometimes minor bug fixes or balance changes, and sometimes for the addition of some of the new content outlined in our post-launch video.
How many classes are available in Chaosbane?
There are four classes available in Warhammer: Chaosbane:

What content is there regarding Gear in the end game? How do builds work in the game?
Each class has ‘Heroic’ armor sets, set completion provides specific bonuses which enhance particular skills, and God Tree abilities. Additionally, there are a lot of ‘Heroic’ weapons which provide specific bonuses which you can exploit in combat.
You can gear can be ‘Blessed’ to provide certain stat buffs that will fit into your unique playstyle (cooldown reduction, critical hit %, armor, additional damage, etc.). We’ve orientated our abilities, God Skill tree, and equipment to work in supporting your way of playing the game.
What you do with this, is something we’re eager to see!
Does Chaosbane have multiplayer?
Chaosbane is playable in up to four player local/online co-op. As an example, you could be playing with 3 random people online, or a friend on the same screen and then you meet two other people playing together on the same screen.
Does the game requires an always-on internet connection?
No, an always-on internet connection is not required to play Warhammer: Chaosbane.
How many players can play on the same screen?
The game is playable with up to four players on the same screen. Using either 4 controllers, or 3 controllers and mouse + keyboard controls. You can configure keys, or assign controllers via the “controls” menu in the “options” settings.
Do we need to party up to play this game or is it enjoyable alone?
We find the game enjoyable both solo or in a group. If you prefer to take on the forces of Chaos alone, you’ll have just as much fun as those playing in a group.
How do I change the screen resolution?
Open the pause menu with the “esc” key, go to the “Options” menu and from there you will find the screen resolution options in the “Graphics Options” menu.
Does this game support other screen ratios than the classic 16:9?
From our tests, the game is playable in most resolutions.
Which Gamepads are supported?
If your controller is correctly configured and works with Steam, then it should work with Warhammer: Chaosbane. We have confirmed support for the PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Pro Switch controllers.
Is the game playable with mouse & keyboard or only gamepad?
The game is playable with both methods of control, depending on your personal preference. You can assign controllers by going to the “Controls” menu in the “Options” menu.
Does the game support trading cards & badges?
Yes, both of these Steam features are supported by Warhammer: Chaosbane.

Yes, Chaosbane can be enjoyed in 4K resolution.
Is this game “only” a console port?
Chaosbane was developed with multiple platforms in mind. As an example, the interfaces on PC and console are different from one another. Additionally, the game has been optimized for both controller and mouse + keyboard controls, depending on your personal preference.
Do you plan to add new classes?
At this time, we don’t have anything to announce regarding the addition of new classes to Chaosbane. Our current plans for post-launch are outlined in the post-launch and end game video.
WASD movement?
WASD movement is not supported in Chaosbane. PC controls are designed around using the mouse for character movement.
Are there any microtransactions?
There are no microtransactions in the game, not at launch nor in the future.
How is working the loot in multiplayer (local and online)?
During online play, you’ll only see your loot on the ground. In local co-op, all gear is shown, but it’s automatically sorted into the inventory of the intended character, regardless of who picks it up.
