Tindalos have just announced their post launch roadmap for Battlefleet Gothic: Armad. The list starts off quite tame with chat improvements, Russian language version, and improved matchmaking. As the roadmap reaches a couple of months ahead, we see some very exciting things on the horizon. The Space Marines DLC has been slated for June 2016, and if you buy BFG before then, you will receive the said DLC and then another mystery race for free.

Other improvements address longevity and the limited levels within the game, but the shock announcement was that the first mystery race being added after the Space Marines, will be the Tau!

I was just as surprised as anyone by this news, and I’ll be eating a Sombrero with cheese dip and salsa to celebrate. The decision to add the Tau next, was reached after taking an online poll with fans. Tau where the most popular, followed by Tyranids. Tindalos have not set even a vague date yet for adding Nids, but they’ve promised not to leave them out.

The full announcement and roadmap can be read here, along with discussions on the upcoming races and their abilities.
