Games Workshop has officially announced the Big Summer Preview Show 2026, set to take place on June 26 at 7 PM BST, offering fans a detailed look at upcoming releases across multiple tabletop titles. The announcement was made through a short teaser shared on the official Warhammer YouTube channel, confirming that the event will cover several major systems beyond just Warhammer 40,000.
The reveal comes shortly after the launch of a new edition of Warhammer 40,000, with the teaser humorously suggesting that while the release is out, there is still “so much cool stuff coming” that hasn’t yet been shared with fans.
A Multi-Game Showcase Confirmed
Rather than focusing solely on Warhammer 40,000, the upcoming preview is positioned as a broad showcase covering multiple tabletop franchises. The teaser directly references several key games, indicating that announcements will span across the wider Warhammer ecosystem.
Among the titles expected to appear are Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Warhammer: The Old World, Kill Team, and The Horus Heresy. The teaser highlights that “there’s so much cool stuff coming,” reinforcing the scale of the upcoming announcements.
According to additional details, the stream will be available on Warhammer’s official YouTube and Twitch channels, making it accessible to a global audience.
The announcement video uses a conversational and comedic tone to hint at what’s coming. During the clip, the presenters realize they have yet to inform fans about several upcoming releases, including “that new Necromunda box,” “the new Kill Team set,” and “the rest of the models for that Horus Heresy thing.”
While specific product details were not revealed, the references strongly suggest new miniatures, boxed sets, and expansions across multiple systems. The teaser also briefly mentions a “massive” update for The Old World and an “amazing new Age of Sigmar army,” pointing toward major content drops.
Warhammer 40,000 Still Plays a Key Role
Even though the preview spans multiple games, Warhammer 40,000 remains central to the event. The teaser acknowledges that with the new edition now available, players will naturally be looking ahead to future content updates, including the first codex and new terrain releases.
“People will want to know about the first codex and all the new terrain that’s coming,”
the presenters note in the video, confirming that additional support for the latest edition will be a key part of the showcase.
This aligns with Games Workshop’s usual rollout strategy, where major edition launches are followed by a steady stream of codex books, models, and gameplay expansions.
Event Timing and What to Expect
The Big Summer Preview Show 2026 is scheduled for June 26 at 7 PM BST, which translates to different local times globally. The event is described as a “big preview with loads of game systems,” suggesting a packed presentation with multiple announcements rather than a single focus reveal.
Although the teaser stops short of confirming exact products, it clearly positions the showcase as a major mid-year update for Warhammer fans. From new armies and boxed sets to codex updates and terrain expansions, the event is expected to outline the next phase of releases across Games Workshop’s tabletop lineup.
