Warhammer Fans Brand Thrilling New Trailer ‘Pacific Rim 3’

Games Workshop just dropped a bombshell that’s got the Warhammer community seeing double. The latest animation trailer for “Kill Lupercal” features colossal war machines duking it out amid apocalyptic destruction—and fans can’t help but notice it looks suspiciously like the Pacific Rim sequel they’ve been begging for.

Set during the Siege of Terra, this new Warhammer 40K animation follows a Warlord Titan crew on what might be their final mission: a desperate attempt to end the Horus Heresy with one decisive strike against the Warmaster himself.

When titans clash: Jaegers in disguise?

The parallels between Warhammer 40K‘s Titans and Guillermo del Toro‘s Jaegers aren’t just fan imagination running wild.

Both feature massive humanoid war machines piloted by neural-linked crews, battling for humanity’s survival against overwhelming odds. The trailer’s apocalyptic scale and grim determination mirror Pacific Rim‘s tone so perfectly that the community couldn’t resist making the connection:

caption about a “titanic new animation.” The pun lands perfectly—these aren’t just big robots, they’re walking monuments to mankind’s desperate ingenuity in the face of extinction.

The animation quality has clearly leveled up, with fans noting the cinematic presentation. “GW been cooking recently,” observed @sunloving43, reflecting the community’s appreciation for Games Workshop’s increased investment in animated content.

The enthusiasm reached fever pitch with @bloom.amarie’s excited “OMGGGGG, thank u, Mr. James Workshop”—a playful nod to the fictional “James Workshop” meme that personifies the company.

Not everyone’s content with just visual spectacle, though. Deeper fans are hungry for more narrative adaptations, with @rmeaker1 pleading: “More Horus heresy animations PLEASE. there’s so many moments from the books that need to be adapted.” Indeed, with decades of rich lore to mine, the potential for future projects does seem limitless.

The latest trailer represents more than just another Warhammer animation—it’s evidence of Games Workshop’s commitment to expanding beyond tabletop gaming. This pivot mirrors what Pacific Rim fans have been desperately wanting ever since Uprising bombed at the box office in 2018, leaving the franchise’s future uncertain.

Prime prequel series and comic book continuations like “Pacific Rim: Final Breach,” Warhammer enthusiasts are enjoying a golden age of animated content. “Kill Lupercal” joins other Warhammer+ offerings like “Astartes II” in bringing the grimdark universe to life in ways plastic miniatures simply can’t match.

What makes the Titan-focused animation particularly exciting is how it captures the same visceral thrill that made Guillermo del Toro’s original Pacific Rim a cult classic.

Both feature neural interfaces (Titan “manifolds” vs. Jaeger “drifting”), massive scale destruction, and humanity’s last stand against overwhelming odds. The parallels are striking enough that fans could be forgiven for thinking del Toro secretly directed this Warhammer offering.

What do you think? Is this the Pacific Rim 3 we never knew we needed, or is Warhammer carving out its own unique space in animated sci-fi?
