Games Workshop is trying to change the reputation of licensed Warhammer games

Once upon a time, Warhammer games were pretty uncommon. Since 2014, there’s been a flood of them, and while some of those games are good, they're not all up to the standards of titles like Total War: Warhammer 2. It remains to be seen which side of the line Chaosbane falls on - we are, as always, hopeful for one in the ‘good’ column - but the developers at Eko Software tell us that Games Workshop is aware of the reputation Warhammer games have gotten, and the company is trying to change it. Game director Jean-Georges Levieux tells us “It wasn't so hard” to get the Games Workshop license, but “I think the harder part was to convince them that we could do a good game. I think they are aware that they have done some not very good games.” It seems Games Workshop isn’t satisfied with that state of affairs. “They are trying to change this. They are trying to find good developers to work with them and to make sure that the game we will do is good enough. So, yes, we have to prove that we can do a good game. You saw How to Survive which was a success and was helpful to convince them. But we had to present to them a game concept, a full design document explaining what we wanted to do and how we were going to do it.”
