About Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister
 
Warhammer 40,000: Battle Sister features the legendary Sisters of Battle in their first outing as lead protagonists and was the first Warhammer 40,000 game to be released on any VR platform.

 
You play as Sister Ophelia - a veteran Sister of Battle - in an epic story, scouring the galaxy for your lost twin sister and fighting for the future of humanity itself.  Heavily armed with a multitude of powerful, futuristic weapons - from Plasma Pistols and Flamers, to Chainswords and Bolters - players will mercilessly blaze a path through the insidious forces of Chaos.

 
The new game from Pixel Toys offers Warhammer fans, both new and old, an unparalleled gaming experience using the latest VR technology that enables players to truly embody the Sisters of Battle. Fully immersed in the Warhammer universe, players experience fast-moving action gameplay across war-torn planets, vast interstellar battle cruisers and alien strongholds, all rendered in VR with stunning detail.


The game includes a deep narrative as the characters are brought to life by a range of talented actors, including Victoria Atkin (Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Horizon Zero Dawn, Kristin Atherton (RSC) and Obioma Ugoala (Hamilton, Frozen).


Pixel Toys, a VR veteran, has already had chart-topping success collaborating with Oculus on Drop Dead: Dual Strike and worked with Games Workshop to create the ground-breaking Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade. It is now forging its love of Warhammer 40,000 with the most technically cutting edge VR technology to create an epic action-packed experience that pushes the bounds of what is possible in VR.
