Free content update, a new DLC and explosive discounts await in the digital event, which will take place from 23rd-30th May. The annual celebration of Warhammer videogames has returned once more and Slitherine is joining in on the festivities by releasing three new free units for Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and a new DLC for Warhammer 40,00 Gladius.
During the event, there will also be discounts for both titles (on PC and consoles), and for a limited period, players will be able to add Gladius to their libraries for free on Steam and the Epic Games Store
 
Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector
Three new units are arriving in Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector as part of a major free update on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
