This is very exciting news for us here in the office, as not only do we get to tell you all about a new computer game, but we also get the exclusive on it. That's right, you heard it from us first! Today, Rodeo Games announced that they are working on bringing a Games Workshop classic - Warhammer Quest - to the iPhone and iPad in 2013. As the first Warhammer title to come to a mobile games platform, we were thrilled to find out more about it.

Many of our longest-serving hobbyists will remember Warhammer Quest from ye olden days, but for those of you that have never played it, the premise is fairly simple. You take control of a party of four questing warriors in search of immeasurable power and riches in the Warhammer world. As always, power and riches are rarely found underneath someone's mattress or in the local library, and so your quests inevitably take you into the dungeons and under-empires of the Old World, fighting foul creatures as you explore hidden tunnels in the hope of finding lost treasure, hoards of gold and lasting fame (or an ignominious death - that is always a possibility too).

"By using one of our tried and tested game engines 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," explained Rodeo Games co-founder Laurent Maguire. "The opportunity to work with Games Workshop was such an exciting prospect, we are thrilled to have been entrusted with this facet of the Warhammer licence."

"All our passion is being channelled into this game, which I'm sure fans will recognise and respond to." said Rodeo Games Creative Director, Ben Murch. That much is certainly clear from looking at the screenshots and the video at the top of the page. Every flagstone is textured and worn, tiny withered plants grow in the sparse patches of light, bones and discarded weapons litter the floor. You can certainly see where inspiration has been taken from the floor tiles in the original boxed game and the Chaos Marauder is stunningly rendered - you certainly wouldn't want to run into him in a dark dungeon (or any dungeon, for that matter, regardless of lighting conditions).

Warhammer Quest will be a universal app sold exclusively via the Apple App Store. The team at Rodeo Games is working towards a Spring 2013 launch, but will be presenting an early version of the game at UK Games Day at the Birmingham NEC on Sunday 23rd September. I can honestly say that while I'm at Games Day, I will definitely be paying the guys from Rodeo a visit to find out more about this upcoming game.

We will be featuring more pictures and information about Warhammer Quest on the blog and in White Dwarf, so keep your eyes peeled for more great stuff. Until then, you can check out the Warhammer Quest page at Rodeo Games for more information. Let the quest begin!

Any word on the boardgame, though?

**SoloFalcon1138**

Wow... I remember that board game...

**GBL**

wow my expectations so quickly raised and then shattered.

Would you like to amend the OP with "Computer Game" in the subject line?

Could prevent a whole lot of other peoples inner children from dying a little inside.

**frozenwastes**

Hunters is a solid game. Rodeo Games is a good pick for a partner on this.

Hunter is $5. Will Warhammer Quest do as well if GW makes it $30-50?

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Hmm, really starting to think someone in upper GW management is trolling us.

Same. In the space of seconds I went from "Ooh, Warhammer Quest!" to "Oh, iStuff only."

**Leggy**

Pretty much the same experience for everyone, going mby this forum and the Facebook page. They see then title, prematurely Geekjaculate, then read to strike and have their hopes crushed.
Hopefully, if GW see the responses, they'll realise a Quest remake would gather them far more £££ than any silly iPhone app.

**Azazelx**

Could this be a precursor to WHQ being this Christmas' "special edition" game like DF and SH before it?

**Panic**

yeah,
This looks great I'll buy.

Might pick up hunters later to pass time and check out rodeos prestige.

Maybe this is a test game, to see how rodeo handels GW IP before they allow rodeo to do space hulk.

Panic...

**Bewareofthephil**

Awesome <3 I loved Quest back when I was but a young teen! My iPhone is totally up for a bit of this.

**ithilmere**

Hunters (and its sequel) are a couple of my favourite games in the ipad, just about as close (mechanically at least) to a modern Space Hulk as you can get. Rodeo are well placed to tackle Warhammer Quest I'd say.

**Modhail**

No PC, no Android, no tabletop = No sale.... :(

Such a shame, seeing the logo again really got me excited.

**Orinoco**

very unexpected.

**Scottywan82**

HELL YES! I cannot wait for this. Never got a chance to buy it back when it first released, but I am a sucker for Space Hulk and would love to see an iOS version of this. I just hope it has some kind of online support for multiplayer.

**H.B.M.C.**

I do love me some Warhammer Quest. But I own the game, and don't own an iPad... so...

**Brother SRM**

If it runs on iPhone 3 I'll definitely pick it up. Could be fun!

**Rivet**

This is curious.

**AegisGrimm**

It's cool, but another thing I don't have a $500 iPad for, so.............. oh well.

I want one with actual models so I can play with friends in real life.

I wonder if they are aware of how much money they may lose out on by not putting stuff like this on Steam for PC.

Then again, Apple is like the richest company ever now, so maybe they get tons of money from Apple to make this stuff just for their devices.

Are there any turn based-style games on Steam at the moment? If so I have missed out... The only one I've seen was Ticket to Ride.

Most likely Rodeo Games approached Games Workshop. I know I would if I had a semi-successful game that can be modified pretty easily to fit with the parameters of GWs Quest-games. Easy franchising with minimal effort = Profit. Sort of.

There are several turn based games on steam. So you have been missing out.

Two that come to mind are Blood Bowl and Magic: the Gathering.

What is the oldest iProduct that I can get that will run this and the Book app I need for GW's digital documents? Can I use the Book app on a iPhone or is it iPad only... thanks for any info.

**pities2004**

Excited for this, infinity blade and the simpsons have been getting boring lately

iBooks can be used on both the iPhone and iPad.
iBooks requires iOS4 which runs on any iPad or on any iPhone 3G and later (however not as fast as on a newer device ofc.).

N.B. You can not view the GW iBooks on an iPhone. You can read BL novels but not the interactive books (army books and codexes and articles).

Thanks for that, iPad or be left out of the loop then I see... I need a sugar mama.

Don't hold your breath waiting for quest. There are no plans to resurrect it and all the moulds are been destroyed.
