Dark Future: Blood Red States is our reboot of the cult Games Workshop 1988 game of car combat. We launched our reboot on 18th May 2019, just over two years ago - that anniversary combined with the fact that the game is in the immense Skulls Sale 2021[www.warhammer-community.com] means that, if you’ve not already got the game and the DLC for it, then today is a good day to drive into the darkest of futures!

Here at Auroch Digital we are huge Games Workshop fans, especially our CEO Tomas Rawlings.

This passion for Games Workshop titles has led us to adapt several of their games into video games. In this episode of our podcast Tomas joins Jem and Matt to talk about some of the games that Games Workshop made that were not Warhammer titles, and how we came to turn some of those into video games.
