The partnership was announced in 2022, granting Amazon exclusive rights to produce multiple projects set in theWarhammer 40,000universe. However, in the Games Workshops’ annual financial report, it was made clear that an agreement had not been reached yet.

It remains to be seen if the two companies agree on the terms within these 5 months.
