The graphics were top-notch, but that’s not what attracted the attention of most players. Instead, players were more interested in the pre-order bonuses revealed at the end of the trailer.

The Season Pass of the game has already created enough curiosity among players, and the latest trailer revealed that players can get it with the Ultra and Gold Editions of the game, along with the pre-order bonuses.

This has disappointed players, as some of them mentioned, the game is almost at the door, and Saber Interactive has taken this long to reveal any information about the Season Pass.

Well, to date, it is not sure what the Season Pass will bring, and that probably won’t be revealed until the game officially comes.

After a lot of hype and sky-touching expectations, finally, the game is about to come to all current-gen platforms. If you have pre-ordered the game’s Ultra or Gold edition, you will get the chance to experience it four days earlier than others who haven’t pre-ordered it.

While every Warhammer 40K player is counting the days until they get the game, Prime Video came up with a new update that revealed a brief episode list for its upcoming Secret Level anthology series, along with the launch date of the series.
