Astartes II Teaser Trailer: What the September 2026 Warhammer+ Announcement Confirms
Astartes II is coming to Warhammer TV in December 2026 for Warhammer+ subscribers—but the official teaser is clearer about the release window than the plot.
The short answer: December 2026, but not a specific day
The official US Warhammer Community announcement places Astartes II on Warhammer TV in December 2026 for Warhammer+ subscribers. It does not give an exact release day.
That distinction matters. December is a release window, not a schedule that tells viewers whether the animation will arrive early, midway through, or late in the month. The September teaser confirms the project and its destination, but not its full launch timetable.
What does the teaser actually confirm?
The official teaser page identifies Deathwatch and Terminators. The accompanying announcement also says the new animation will be significantly longer than the original Astartes.
Those details establish the scale and broad focus of the project without pretending to reveal more than the official material does. The teaser page does not provide a detailed plot or episode count, so there is no official basis yet for describing a mission, naming a storyline, or predicting how the animation will unfold.
What does the Warhammer+ requirement mean?
The announcement connects the December release to Warhammer TV and Warhammer+ subscribers. For viewers, that is more important than treating the public teaser as evidence of a free full release. A teaser can introduce the project while the finished animation remains tied to the subscription service named in the announcement.
The practical takeaway is therefore straightforward: follow the official Warhammer TV and Warhammer+ schedule for the eventual date rather than treating the teaser’s September publication as the premiere.
What is known—and what is still open?
Astartes II has an official December 2026 window, a Warhammer TV destination, and a Warhammer+ access condition. Deathwatch and Terminators are explicitly identified, and Games Workshop says the animation will be significantly longer than the original.
The exact day, episode count, and detailed story remain unspecified on the official US pages. That leaves the teaser doing what a teaser is meant to do: establish the project’s arrival and tone without replacing a full release announcement.
