Bigben and Eko Software have announced that the second closed beta phase for their upcoming hack n slash Warhammer: Chaosbane is now live. During the first beta phase which was held last month, the developers collected a lot of fan feedback and have used all the data to further improve the game and the second phase of the closed beta.
The second phase will take place on PS4, Xbox One and Steam from April 18 to April 24, 2019. All players who have pre-ordered the Standard, Magnus or Digital Deluxe edition of the game can now access the second closed beta. According to the developers, the second phase of Warhammer: Chaosbane includes:
- Playable campaign: the first three missions of Act 2 taking place in Praag as well as Act 1, which takes place in a Nuln that has been improved and reworked using the feedback the players provided during the first beta phase.
- Two new playable characters join the Imperial soldier and the High-Elf mage: the Dwarf Slayer and the Wood-Elf archer.
- Maximum level: 25
- Cooperative mode with up to four players locally or online in order to test the synergy between the four classes.
The progress from the first closed beta will not carry over to the Warhammer: Chaosbane second closed beta and players will need to play the first chapter again to progress to the first three missions of Act 2 which takes place in Praag. Warhammer: Chaosbane is the first action RPG to take place in the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.
Warhammer: Chaosbane will put the players directly in the heart of the Old World which is marked by the Great War against Chaos. Players will get to choose their hero from a human, a high elf, a wood elf or a dwarf and battle the forces of chaos across iconic locations of the Warhammer Fantasy Battles.

Warhammer: Chaosbane is releasing on June 4, 2019, on PS4, PC and Xbox One. Players who pre-order the Magnus Edition or Digital Deluxe will get early access on May 31, 2019.
