Any plans for more story campaigns?

Post by AwesomeLion »

Hands down one of the most popular aspect of this game was the story campaign and though I get doing the supremacy (aka world conquest campaign) there is a huge demand for more story campaign. The original campaign is really good and well received so I'm pretty confident that people would be happy to see another.

Im a big fan of storx driven campaigns aswell. and the main campaign was awesome for me. Of Course scripted battles but way harder and more challenging than anything that the PS System has to offer.
And the campaign felt way more "meaningful" than the PS.

So i would appreciate more Story campaign and factions for Battlesector. Im not a fan of skirmishes and for PS with its restrictions is nothing else than a bunch of skirmishes. Sadly i dont think we will get more story campaigns, at least i havent heard of any plans. The game is amazing and worth every single buck i spent on it, but i stopped buying DLCS, because i dont "use" the units.
But the DLCs are nice aswell, the unit design is incredible good (in my opinion) but as mentioned im a pure PVE player. And the PS doesnt fit "my" needs

PS is just not big enough or engaging enough. It's got zero story elements to it. It would be cooler if instead of random skirmish maps you got random story maps sort of. Just a 1 min briefing in the beginning saying something about the place and the defenders - similar to what we had in Dawn of War Dark Crusade - with a more heavy story mission being the enemy strongholds.

The DLC's are not big enough for me. The elite pack included a handful of units? Meh. Factions are more interesting, but I'd need somewhere to actually want to play them - which for me would be a story campaign.

Hope we get an Aeldari faction DLC later with a story campaign where they unite with the other order factions to fight the Orks, Tyranids and Chaos or something. In short - bring back a proper story campaign and improve PS alongside it.

It is one of the most requested thing on Steam as well, as in the reviews and on the forums.

I think the developers are blind to it though, (no offence), which I think is going to ultimately burn whatever goodwill they initially had. I seldom see the game discussed off the specialised forums now, partially because it has failed to stay relevant via its DLC.

Ultimately, the sales numbers is probably all that matters, they can churn out unit packs without story for cheaper = more profit.

After release of the Necrons DLC I thought, there might have been a chance for change. But now I honestly have given up hope that this will ever happen.
