Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena is a cancelled multiplayer online battle arena, twin-stick shooter video game developed and published by Canadian independent developer Whitebox Interactive, for Microsoft Windows.[1] The game takes place in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, created by Games Workshop. The game combines traditional twin-stick shooting with four-versus-four team deathmatch mechanics.[2][3]

In Warhammer 40,000: Dark Nexus Arena, players take control of a "Veteran" taken from the tabletop universe of Warhammer 40,000 and pitted against other alien races in the Dark Eldar Wych Cult Arenas of Commoragh.[1]

The game launched into early access on May 1, 2015 and was set to launch in 2016.[4] However, development has since ceased on the project, and servers were shut down March 12, 2016.
