Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade
Based on the extensive universe of Warhammer 40,000, Eternal Crusade will take gamers into a vicious battle between four factions of the 41st millennium in order to control a persistent world at war. Whether it is PvP (Player versus Player) or PvE (Player versus Environment) squads will have to work together and engage in massive battles and exterminate the other factions! To do so; fans can choose from twenty different sub-factions, earn hundreds of weapons, customization options and accessories drawn from 29 years of Warhammer 40,000 lore to create their perfect warriors. Your faction is your family now. Plan your strategy from orbit, then face death side-by-side with them as you defend strongholds or delve into the Underworld to combat hordes of ravening Tyranids. Victory is not a thing for a single warrior to claim, but the result of the fury of armies. Dive into the shifting frontlines and crush your foes by cutting off supply lines, sieging walled fortresses and striking deep into the heart of enemy territory. Go toe-to-toe in melee, snipe your enemies from afar or fire into the fray from one of the seats of a gun-loaded Predator tank. Combat in Eternal Crusade ranges from a personal clashing of swords to truly epic warfare involving hundreds of other players. Choose your allegiances and background, then earn hundreds of weapons and accessories drawn from 26 years of 40k lore to craft your perfect warrior.

What it's about
The game is set in Warhammer 40,000's far-future grimdark sci-fi universe of the 41st millennium with advanced technology, space warfare, and interstellar factions.

Armed forces, factions, and large-scale warfare across territories form the setting and conflict structure.

Gun-loaded Predator tanks are explicitly available as combat vehicles that players can pilot in the shifting frontlines.

How it's structured
A persistent world at war where factions battle to control territory that continues to evolve, with strongholds and supply lines that matter across sessions.
