The first preview is official here. GW just confirmed Phoenix Rising as the first expansion for Psychic Awakening expansion coming to 40k. Check out the details!
Coming from Warhammer Community, the first piece of content for Psychic Awakening is called Phoenix Rising. They gave us a few details on what we could expect. However, we definitely need to stay tuned and keep our eyes peeled for what drops next.
If you missed the first wave of rumors on Phoenix Rising, be sure to check them out for yourself to get caught up.
Previous Rumors For Psychic Awakening
Here’s a summary of the latest rumors out of the Nova Open from various Industry Insiders. Remember these are only rumors until proven otherwise…
- Psychic Awakening will last about a year and be the next big supplement release for GW now that the codex books are done.
- There will be a rulebook update at some point for 8th Edition collecting up the last 2 years of tweaks to the game
- The first book in the Psychic Awakening Line will be titled Phoenix Rising and if the clues above were not enough, it revolves around the Aeldari (Eldar) and new minis for them. (CONFIRMED)

Phoenix Rising is the first “chapter” of Psychic Awakening we’ll be heading in to. And in relation to a new page being made specifically for Psychic Awakening, this map of space will be updated as a real-look into the grimdark universe as events unfold:
This new page centres around a living map of the Warhammer 40,000 galaxy in the wake of the Great Rift. As the series progresses, new key war zones be highlighted as the implications of the Psychic Awakening spread. It will also serve as your hub for all of the latest Psychic Awakening news, with weekly updates in the form of articles, teasers, videos, new models fiction and more… In fact, you might not have long to wait until the first update. – It’s on Monday… we’re rubbish at keeping secrets.
We saw this chart of factions get updated recently now showing Admech, Sisters, and Space Wolves. Just as GW said before, each faction will have some kind of stake to hold in this new event. Keep in mind, it doesn’t specifically say that every faction is getting a Psyker. Rather, they’ll have something to do with what’s going on.
While we still have yet to see any real specific details on the first chapter of Psychic Awakening, at least we know where to turn to! What do you think will be involved with Phoenix Rising? Could Eldrad and Yvraine have unlocked new potential in their psychic abilities?
