Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena to Enter Closed Alpha

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena is the very first MOBA based in the rich and storied setting of the Warhammer 40K universe. It’s entering into the highly anticipated closed alpha phase on May 8, 2015–that’s tomorrow.

Until now, the only way to experience Dark Nexus Arena was through gaming conferences like PAX East, giving very few people the chance to actually experience the game first-hand. 

The game has switched gears and ramped up its graphical fidelity with a switch to the Unity 5 engine, so it’ll look better than you’ve ever seen it–had you ever seen it before.

“Not only is Dark Nexus Arena loaded with tweaks and enhancements, the game also sports an entirely new engine – Unity 5, which gives us an outstanding difference in lighting of the characters and environment.  You can really see the difference,” said Jonathan Falkowski, CEO of Whitebox Interactive. “It just feels more alive.”

As you can imagine, the MOBA is set in the dark universe of Warhammer 40K. Players take control of veteran warriors from the iconic Space Marines, Orks, and Tau armies in a bloody four versus four conflict. The entire range of Warhammer 40K races are planned for future release, including the Sisters of Battle, Dark Eldar, Eldar, and Chaos Space Marines armies.

The game is set to launch exclusively on the PC in 2016.
