It's time! New units are deployed on Gladius and battle lines are drawn. The carnage has begun: the Reinforcement Pack is out!

The Reinforcement Pack is the first DLC to Gladius and it adds five brand new units, filling new roles on the battlefield!

Make use of the Flash Gitz and the Immortals to unleash devastating firepower, while the Astra Militarum's Tempestus Scion elite troops are perfect for executing surgical and precise attacks on vulnerable enemy positions. The mighty Land Raider can transport the battle brothers of the Adeptus Astartes under the thickest enemy fire. But beware of a new dangerous enemy, ready to strike from the shadows... the Neophyte Hybrids!







The Reinforcement Pack is now available on PC and Linux for $4,99!

This is but the first DLC, and we have bigger expansions coming. Stay tuned, this is just the beginning!

Proxy Studio, developers of Gladius, haven't been idle since then.

We are ready to announce its first DLC, which will be released on Friday October 19th!


With the Reinforcement Pack new units join the fight on Gladius Prime!

With one new unit per faction, plus one for the Neutral faction, the expansion will widen the strategical options for all commanders.





You can now lead the Tempestus Scions elite troops for rapid-insertion strike tactics, for the greater glory of the Imperium of Man. Or perhaps you want more dakka (can't ever have enough dakka) and would rather field your new Flash Gitz, ready to unleash cataclysmic fire on their enemies?

What is this noise I hear? That's the new Land Raider, a mighty and unstoppable war machine, ready to deploy its Astartes passengers wherever they're most needed. And what of the elite warriors of the Necrons, the Immortals? Heavily armed and armoured, they will stop at nothing in the completion of their masters' goals.

On top of that, there is a new threat lurking in the shadows, biding their time and ready for an insurrection... the Neophyte Hybrids!





This is just the first of a series of planned expansions for Gladius. In the past month the team has been working hard to implement a brand new playable race, one which will be played in a drastically different way. Stay tuned, for there will be more news soon!

We have great news for all Gladius fans!

The team got some vacation and they are now back at work, really busy finalizing some exciting features.

First off, they have been working on a new free update which will go into open beta any day now.

Among the usual balance changes and minor fixes, that'll bring two major changes that we feel will greatly please players.

First off, the world builder has been greatly improved. You can now customize your maps to a much higher degree, to the extent that you can control the biome size and density. Do you want to play on a desert planet? You can. Would you rather play on a completely arctic world? You can definitely do that now. It is extremely flexible.

Secondly, the AI has been completely revamped. It is now much better than before. It's been improved decisively in several areas: resource collection, building priorities, combat... you'll see that the AI will be much tougher than it ever was.

But that's not all...

There are DLCs with more content in the pipeline. We will announce the first one very soon, and it'll be a smaller one while we prepare for bigger things. The team from Proxy Studios is working hard on implementing a new race, one that'll have a completely new type of gameplay... but all in due time.

We are excited to see that so many people liked Gladius. It's been a success for us and we are looking forward to expanding the game. This is just the beginning. There are many directions where we can go from here, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback about it. Please let us know what you would like to see added in the game.

Today's the time for a new big update for Gladius.

This time we are adding a much requested feature: keyboard hotkeys! You can read the full list of hotkeys down below.

We are also including a new special screen shake effect when a drop pod is landing, plus many bug fixes and balance improvements.

This update has been fine tuned and tested during a few days beta, so we'd like to thank everyone who took part in it. Please let us know if you have any feedback: your suggestions are always very handy in helping us improving the game.

The release of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius was a huge event for us, and we are really happy with how it went. We’re also very happy with how the game has been received so far: we’ve heard a lot of enthusiastic comments and opinions, from both the public and influencers. We’re really glad to see you guys like the game.

Naturally, we’ve also received some exceptional feedback: lots of good ideas, suggestions and criticism. We are really grateful for all kinds of feedback. We have been doing our best to gather all of this feedback and process it. It was particularly useful for all the updates we have worked on so far.

In fact, we’ve released several updates in just a few days, with the team working non-stop to keep improving the game and making it better and better, following this feedback. Balance changes, bug fixes as well as some much requested new features like UI scaling and MP chat were introduced in a short time – and we won’t stop here. In fact we have just released a new patch today bringing several new tools for multiplayer.

We’ve received a lot of questions about Gladius and its future, and today we’ll try to answer to the most common ones.



Yes. We’re already working on it. Gladius will be a long journey, one that has just begun. You can expect news soon. To give a more detailed answer, we plan to keep polishing the game and our support will be constant and frequent. Alongside frequent updates, we have plans to expand the game and add lots of new content. We have so many ideas ourselves, and many more that you guys gave us.




Yes :) we do. There are several races that we plan to add in Gladius. They will definitely come. Needless to say, each one of them will have a unique approach to the gameplay, just like the existing playable factions. We know you guys would love to have your favourite faction added to the game, and we’ll do our best not to disappoint you.




That’s great! We love to hear your thoughts. Please do post about it on our Steam forum, Slitherine forum or our social media. We can’t promise that we’ll implement it: some we might not agree with, or it might not integrate well with the other systems. We might have other plans. Or maybe there won’t be enough time or resources. But we’ll certainly listen.




We’re a small team and we don’t have a huge QA department, but we’re doing our best to give you as smooth an experience as possible. As we already mentioned above, we’ve already released plenty of updates so far, and we’ll continue to do so, so if you find a bug please report it on the Slitherine Support Forum or Steam Support forum.




Gladius is a deep game and some players sometimes have trouble understanding all the game’s mechanics and thus have trouble at formulating an optimal strategy. The best way to learn the game is to play the introductory scenario as the Space Marines and then read the help tips. The in game Compendium is also extremely useful as it contains all info about the game’s mechanics. Two other great places where you can find lots of useful info are the manual and the Wiki page.




The best place would be the fans Discord group! It’s a great place to meet and chat with other Gladius fans, and you’ll have no trouble finding other players for multiplayer and you can also make new friends.


Let’s conclude this update by saying a big Thank you for your constant support. We’re really happy and we are looking forward to announce what the future holds for Gladius. Stay tuned!
