Slitherine Unveils Its 2026 Line-Up &

New Announcements During the

Slitherine Next Live Event

London, UKDecember 9, 2025 – Slitherine, the world’s leading strategy games publisher, lit up its Twitch channel today with a two-hour special edition of Slitherine Next, the annual event that has become a must-watch for strategy fans across the globe. The live show featured world premieres, major announcements, and exclusive reveals of titles slated for release in 2026 and beyond. This year’s event delivered one of the strongest and most diverse line-ups in Slitherine’s history.

 

The showcase kicked off with the same-day launch of RuneQuest: Warlords, the first-ever strategy video game set in Glorantha, the legendary world created by Chaosium. Fans have waited more than 40 years to experience the RuneQuest world in a fully realized video game—the wait is finally over. RuneQuest: Warlords lets players lead their clan to glory through tactical battles, myth-infused magic, and political intrigue, bringing to life one of the most unique settings in fantasy history.

 

Slitherine has also officially announced Bolt Action, the first video game based on the world-renowned tabletop miniatures wargame by Warlord Games. Launching in 2026, Bolt Action aims to capture the authentic miniature-wargaming experience and the physicality of moving miniatures on the tabletop, bringing it all to PC, complete with a dynamic campaign set during D-Day, historical operations, and competitive multiplayer featuring both Allied and German forces. Players on PC will even be able to modify and customize their virtual soldiers thanks to an unparalleled special Army Painter.

Marco Alessandro Minoli, Publishing Director at Slitherine, closed the event by expressing pride in the company’s achievements and excitement for the future:

“We are incredibly proud of what we achieved in 2025, but with this line-up we are confident that 2026 will be an even greater year for the hundreds of thousands of strategy fans who follow us. Slitherine never stops—while we continue supporting our biggest successes with new, surprising content, we always have new titles simmering in the pot.”

From corrupted Space Marines to infernal war engines, the Black Legion brings overwhelming firepower and brutal close-quarters devastation to the battlefield.

Headquarters: Cold War

What if the Cold War had turned hot in the mid-1980s? Headquarters: Cold War explores this alternate history through a fast-paced, turn-based strategy experience set in a NATO vs. USSR conflict in 1984. Players lead either faction through story campaigns and skirmishes, leveling units, assigning heroes, and using powerful Headquarters skills to rewrite modern history.

 

Stargate: Timekeepers Comes to Consoles

The real-time tactics title Stargate: Timekeepers—originally released only on PC in 2024—arrives on Xbox and PlayStation. Across its two Seasons, players lead a team of specialists through a story-driven campaign in the SG-1 universe, using stealth, coordination, and unique hero abilities to break a timeloop and defeat the Goa’uld.

Scramble: Battle of Britain

During the event, Slitherine announced Scramble: Battle of Britain’s first single-player campaign. In the Channel Defense Campaign, players take command of an RAF squadron during the hardest months of 1940, guiding pilots through constant dogfights, losses, and brief moments of triumph. Every choice matters, shaping the squadron’s story into a personal tale of courage and consequence. The campaign will arrive in early 2026, marking the most significant milestone since its Early Access launch.
