Eko Software and BigBen have released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming ARPG, Warhammer: Chaosbane. The trailer in question introduces a ferocious Dwarven Slayer, in the search for an honorable death in battle.
Bragi Axebiter, the dwarf Slayer has taken the oath of the Slayer, vowing to cleanse his honour by dying in combat against a formidable adversary. This exceptional warrior is always searching for the most powerful enemies so that he can “finally” honour his oath. An expert in hand-to-hand combat, Bragi benefits from a high degree of mobility which allows him to launch into the heart of a melee in order to eliminate a particular target.
This ease of movement is augmented by the dwarf’s unique ability: he can throw his axe and launch himself at whatever it’s stuck in, whether that’s a wall or a Nurgling, using the controller’s right joystick or holding down the space bar to target. Then he can rain down blows upon his target before jumping to the next enemy. In cooperative, he’s the perfect character for eliminating a dangerous enemy who’s far from the melee while his teammates take care of the front line.
From the looks of things, he isn’t too dissimilar from our favorite Bardin Goreksson, the resident Slayer from Vermintide 2. But can he beat cousin Okri? Let’s wait and see.
Warhammer: Chaosbane comes to PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One on June 4th.
