Hi everyone.While we continue work on the next update, we’ve made a new build available on the optional public_beta branch on Steam.This build includes further work aimed at improving game performance. Our internal testing across a range of hardware has been very encouraging, but PC performance can vary considerably between different systems, so we’d like to test the update more widely before considering a full public release.If you’ve previously experienced poor performance in Mechanicus II, we’d particularly appreciate you trying the beta and letting us know whether you see an improvement, n

This new bug fix update focuses on confirmed gameplay, progression, stability, visual, and localisation issues reported since release. This includes fixes for several mission blockers, crashes and combat or skill-related problems, alongside a new setting intended to reduce CPU load on some systems.We know some players are still waiting for further improvements to performance and other technical issues, this update is not intended to address that. The broader optimisation work continues separately and we'll share updates on that as soon as we can.You can find the full list of changes below. The

Hi everyone. Today, we’re releasing a major technical update for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II, built around an upgrade to a newer version of Unity. Internal testing and feedback from the public beta of this build indicate that the upgrade improves baseline performance and optimisation across a wide range of hardware configurations. However, performance gains will vary depending on your system and settings, and we want to be clear that some players may see limited or no noticeable improvement from the engine upgrade alone. To provide greater control over performance, the update also introduc

Hello everyone.As previously mentioned, the team is currently working on a performance-focused update for Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II. This build includes a major engine update, with the aim of delivering meaningful performance and optimisation improvements.The build is still undergoing testing on our side. However, because PC performance can vary significantly depending on hardware, drivers, settings, Steam cache state and other system-specific factors, we also want to gather feedback from a wider range of real player setups before moving the update to the main live branch.For that reason

First, thank you to everyone who has reported issues and shared feedback since the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II.We know we’ve been quiet since launch. That hasn’t been because we’re ignoring the issues being raised – it’s because the team has been focused on investigating, fixing and preparing updates as quickly as possible.We’re painfully aware that many players are experiencing performance issues, including lower than expected frame rates and unusually high GPU utilisation. Improving performance is a critical priority for us, and work is continuing on a more substantial optimisa

В рамках презентации Warhammer Skulls издательство Kasedo Games и студия Bulwark Studios объявили о релизе тактической пошаговой стратегии Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II. Она доступна на ПК, Xbox Series X|S и PS5. Однако в самый последний момент игру удалили из российского сегмента Steam без объяснения причин. При этом первую часть по-прежнему можно приобрести без проблем.

The first Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus had this really specific brutalist tactile energy to it. It was dense with lore, weird religious obsession, and tactical combat that felt surprisingly tense for a game about slow-moving robot priests stomping through tombs. Since then, I’ve fallen way deeper into Warhammer as a whole. Somewhere along the line, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader completely consumed my life for a while, and that definitely changed the way I looked at Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II going in. The expectations were a lot higher this time around. The scale is immediately bigger. Y

Have no fear, dear reader. Yes, I am once standing in for Edwin to battle The Maw and bring forth its tidings of upcoming PC games. But the beast has not eaten our news editor. Not this time. Instead, Edwin's been called away to Krakow where he will be using his creature-wrestling skills to tussle with a dragon. Read more

Rude cyborg vs. immortal robot strategy sequel Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus II is releasing in Spring 2026, publishers Kasedo Games have announced. For anyone keeping track of the 40K XCOM-alike, that'll sound like a delay, considering it had previously mumbled something about launching in 2025. But then, we’d reached the dying days of December and it still didn’t have a specific date. Can one delay something that wasn’t dated to begin with? Read more

Mechanicus II is officially set to launch next spring. Since the Next Fest demo in October, we’ve been parsing every data-fragment of feedback, from long-time disciples of the Omnissiah and newly initiated alike. One of the most frequent requests was for the return of lingua technis, the distinctive machine-code language of the Machine God’s faithful that helped create the unique atmosphere of the original title. Given the demand, we’re committed to adding it as an optional setting at launch for anyone who prefers it over standard voiceovers.We’re also hard at work on performance optimisations
