Warhammer Quest announced for iOS

Rodeo Games and Games Workshop are working together on Warhammer Quest for iPhone and iPad.

The turn-based strategy game, set to launch early next year, follows the adventures of four warriors as they explore the Old World for treasure.

The game is being built using Rodeo Games' 'Taurus' engine, which was used for Hunters 2.

Co-founder of Rodeo Games, Laurent Maguire, said: "By using our existing engine it means we can really focus on developing the parts of Warhammer Quest that made it such a great table-top game; truly unique hero characters and brutal enemies from across all the Warhammer races."

Games Workshop licensing boss, Jon Gillard, said: "The guys at Rodeo are not only extremely talented developers with a great track record of successful iOS games in their Hunters franchise, but are also huge Warhammer fans.

"This powerful combination is creating a fantastic translation of this beloved game, as well as making it thoroughly enjoyable working with them."
