Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is an open-world action-RPG based in the Games Workshop Warhammer 40K universe. It was originally released as an alpha in early 2017, and now there’s a big update for January 2018, including a new playable character, map, and the first chapter of the single player campaign (which also works as a tutorial for how to play). And a fairly big list of bug fixes and updates.
It’s developed by Neocore Games, who previously created ‘The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing’ titles. In addition to the new single player campaign content, there is also the addition of the Primaris Psyker Inquisitor class which are a rare elite able to use psychic powers legally. But there are risks with abilities. Beside eternal damnation, they also gain penalties for using psychic powers which may spawn Warp anomalies. And there are three main specialist Inquisitors depending on the wargear they use – Aetherwalkers, Empyreanists and Scryers.
The new update is applied automatically, and due to levelling changes requested by the community, all characters/accounts are being reset.
