Could GW actually be revealing an updated version of Battlefleet Gothic this Saturday in the big preview? Here’s why it may be happening…
There was a mystery logo on the big reveals coming this weekend, and it could be anything, but there have been rumors floating around for the last couple of years that BFG is coming back. Not to mention they’ve kept online versions of the game running and have never really said that it’s not coming for sure. They have been coming out with a lot of stuff for Aeronautica and the minis are of a similar size, so why not?
They have really also been upping their box games, so it could make sense that they would bring back this epic game. If you played back in the day, it was really cool, and fun on its own or bring together a giant campaign.
RUMORS: Battlefleet Gothic Reveal this Saturday
That little question mark is the thing that has us wondering. Since it’s at the bottom where the other more obscure games are, why not bring it back? there has also been talk for years now that the game is going to make its triumphant return. If they did bring it back, it’s hard to tell whether it would be with new minis or if they would change the rules and bring back the old minis.
And with GW bringing the old style of Fantasy back, it seems they are willing to bring back games when people want them, eventually…
An Older Hint
When Warhammer Community posted a video on their Facebook showcasing their new “winged hammer” look. In the video, they mount the new logo on a billboard full of other titles they support and are currently in production. We’re talking about games like Warcry, Warhammer Underworlds, Titanicus, Kill Team, etc.

The video initially looks like just a cool way to advertise their new “all-encompassing” Warhammer logo, but is something more going on here…
But in all of those signs, there were two that stood out like a sore thumb.
See the Battlefleet Gothic sticker hidden in there? While this could have just been them talking about consolidating all of their lines, it could mean this has been in the works (that we know of) since April 8th, 2019…
The Golden Demons were supposed to return in 2020 at Adepticon, and Blood Bowl just got an update. So of these perhaps it’s Mordheim and or BFG’s time to shine again!
What is Battlefleet Gothic? (BFG)
If you’re newer to the tabletop gaming scene, you might have only heard of Battlefleet Gothic on the PC. While it’s still being supported in the form of online gaming, the tabletop version hasn’t been touched on in a while. However, it used to be really popular back in the day!
If you’ve seen the PC version played, you’ll know it has to do with huge ships from all kinds of factions blasting each other apart in deep space. The tabletop version was just like that as well!
Do you think this could be true? Would you play if they came out with a rework of the game?
