GW may be closed right now due to COVID-19, but they just updated hobbyists on when new releases may be coming back to stores again!
If you’ve been hobbying hard since the pandemic broke out, that’s awesome. But as a friendly word of warning from Warhammer Community, they’ve given us a “rough estimate” of when they’ll be able to start releasing physical products around once again. Take a look at the latest.
GW Closed Until May: Retail & Mail Order UPDATE
Hey folks – it’s been a wild couple of weeks and we wanted to give you a bit of an update on what’s going on here at Games Workshop, specifically on the subject of new releases. Well, as you know, Games Workshop is carefully following guidance from governments both here in the UK and throughout the world to keep all its staff safe and healthy, closing all its sites until an initial date of the 14th of April. This includes the factory and distribution centres in the UK, USA and Australia, etc.
Even once things re-open, our legions of tech-priests will need a bit of time to chant the litanies of reactivation to get the machines back up and running. So, there will be no new physical* releases launched until at least the 2nd of May. As you would expect, these dates may be delayed further in due course.
Unfortunately, while the new previews from Adepticon will be dropping Saturday, we shouldn’t be expecting any new releases until the beginning of May. But to keep safety as a top priority, it may be even longer as Countries evaluate the pandemic on a global scale. We’ll just have to patient and maybe run through our collections a time or two making sure we paint every last bit of detail.
There’s a silver lining in all this…We may be stuck inside, but once we come back, we should all have some incredible armies to showcase.
