The digital adaptation of the classic 1995 Games Workshop board game, Warhammer Quest, is facing a change in its availability on digital platforms. Originally making its way to PC in 2015, the game has found a niche audience who appreciated its suitability as a casual laptop game. However, fans of the title will soon find it absent from one major online store.
Delisting Details and GOG Availability
The beloved PC game Warhammer Quest will be delisted from Steam on December 12, marking the end of its availability on the popular gaming platform. Despite this, the game will continue to be accessible on GOG, suggesting that the licensing terms between the two platforms differ. The specifics behind these terms have not been disclosed, but the continued presence on GOG aligns with its reputation for offering classic games.

Impact on Sequels and Community Reaction
The delisting of Warhammer Quest from Steam will not impact its sequels. The following titles will continue to be available for fans of the franchise:
- Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times
- Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower
The community’s response to the delisting news has been one of nostalgia and appreciation for the game. Forum users have shared their fond memories, with one declaring, “I can’t explain why, but this is one of my favorite games of all time.” Another user echoed this sentiment, stating, “This is such a great game! It really does a good job of translating the table top experience I had playing the original back in the day.”
The publisher behind Warhammer Quest, Chilled Mouse, is contemplating a final sale on Steam before the game’s delisting. This potential sale would give fans one last chance to purchase the game on their preferred platform. The game has enjoyed a “Mostly Positive” review rating on Steam, reflecting its success and the enjoyment it has brought to players over the years. Its appeal lies in its faithful translation of the tabletop experience to a digital format, capturing the essence of the original board game and earning it a place in the hearts of its dedicated fan base.
