Chinese writing on the box cover. So maybe its just region specific packaging?
That's japanese, actually, or else the chinese have adopted hiragana.

Eldar will be getting a small release this year, so there's that. CSM will be getting major releases next year along with new Abaddon and the first campaign series for advancing from Dark Imperium.
People on Dakka will whine about everything anyway. It's a part of what makes it such a pain to actually try to have any sort of discussion here.

Isn't there a mobile game called Speed Freeks that is Orky racing? Possible this is a tabletop adaptation of that as a standalone thingie like the Gangs one was?
Edit: Looks like this may have been Japanese-only release, which seems to fit with the images above...

Cool, that makes the whole "China exclusive" thing even more unlikely.
Vigilus comprises a number of continent-sized hivesprawls that, in recent years, have become filled to overflowing with refugees seeking to escape the horrors besetting the worlds of the Imperium Nihilus beyond its aegis. Each such sprawl is protected by psychically charged Bastion-class force fields that render comatose any who would seek to breach their boundaries, enabling the defenders to slaughter them at leisure. These force fields proved so effective that even when an Ork Waaagh! smashed into Vigilus, the greenskins were unable to assail the hivesprawls beyond, so took to seeking entertainment elsewhere by engaging in violent races across the sweeping open plains that separate the vast hivesprawls.

Can someone confirm this actually? My wife is British Born Chinese, she can speak but can't read or write Cantonese that well. She said some of the symbols looked Chinese and some looked Japanese?

Can confirm. Look at the box - 千年 after 41 on the box means 'millennium' in japanese. Check with google translate if you want.

I thought that seemed a rather specific call out when I read it. Neat to see what its referring too.

As I said, there's hiragana in there, which is a dead giveaway. Chinese and japanese share a lot of the kanji (even when the pronunciation usually is very different, and in some cases the meaning has drifted), but hiragana and katakana are pure japanese.

Some part of me doesn't really believe this leak. It just screams "knockoff to me." I get that the whole lore of orks zogging off and racing on their own is a strong link, but something deep inside me just doesn't believe this is real. I'll wait for official news before getting hype.

Hopefully this isn't restricted to China or Japan and is a global release. I think there would be a very vocal uproar if this isn't available worldwide.
Still annoyed that I didn't pick up Gangs of Commaragh when it was available, by all accounts it isn't too bad a game.
Hopefully this isn't las limited.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.
This was brought up on the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page. The Facebook guy replied (even though it's almost 11 pm there):

Not photoshop, just a bootleg product like China and Japan are so notorious for.

It fits the current timeline - Wolves, Genestealers, and Orks. Plus the background around the Vigilus sector. So if it is a hoax, they timed it perfectly.

You... might have gotten stuck in the 80s ^^
That would be quite the feat considering I'm a 90's kid.

so some kind of racing game in the 40k universe?
thats actually kinda hilarious because i was literally just talking with a friend about making a racetrack-ruleset for 40klol
An ork with an idea tends to end with a bang.
14000pts Big 'n Bad Orkz
6000pts Admech/Knights
7500pts Necron Goldboys
Ork leak: Trukkz have been found to be under priced drastically and will now cost 180pts in order to bring them on par with a Space Marine Rhino. The Stompa likewise was proven to be too powerful by Reece at FLG and so has had its BS lowered to 6+ and movement to 5'.
In a completely unrelated note, GW will release new Sculpts for buggies which will cost $60 for each one and will cost 5pts with 3+ to hit, T8 and a 2+ save with 25 wounds.
Somewhere I have the rules for "Formula Waaagh!" I think it was called. From white dwarf I believe. Must admit I'm digging the look of hose buggys if hey are close to e actual kit it's a buy.
I had to do a double take when I first saw this, if the new upcoming buggy models look anything like the artwork I will jump for joy. I'm glad we're finally getting SOMETHING for Orks, gives me hope that we aren't pushed unceremoniously to next year for our release.
I'd bet money it's simply a "quick start" box for the new Ork vehicles, much like Gang War Comorragh and Knight Renegade, etc. I bet you'll get a scant 20-30 page book with some turn dials, etc...but I sincerely doubt it's a relaunch of Gorkamorka.

When did CSM receive attention? Did I miss a wonderful release where we literally got something more than a single character from a Triumvirate box?
