Mike Flanagan has shared some new details for the upcoming Warhammer 40K series being developed by Amazon Studios. The horror maestro is working on the show alongside Henry Cavill, who has been developing the IP for years.

Speaking in a new interview, Flanagan teased how much he's enjoying the project since being brought on earlier in 2026. "Henry Cavill would be furious if I divulged anything about what we're working on," he told Deadline. "All I can say is that Warhammer is a fascinating world. The challenge, as anyone familiar with it knows, is finding a way in – it's so big. There are 700 novels, discounting the [table top] game, the interactive elements and so much of the rest of the lore."

Flanagan went on to reveal that they have found "a very cool and unexpected on-ramp into it, which I think is very exciting." He added: "I'm sworn to secrecy on all of it, but I’m having the time of my life working on it."

The series has been a long time coming with Cavill's partnership with Games Workshop first being announced three years ago. At the time, the former Superman star shared a statement on Instagram, which read: "Together, we've been sifting through the plethora of incredible characters and poring over old tomes and texts. Our combined efforts have led us to a fantastic place to start our Universe, which has been agreed upon by those up on high at both Amazon and Games Workshop. That starting place shall, for now, remain a secret."

The latest update came in July when Flanagan was brought on board as Games Workshop CEO Kevin Rountree said work was beginning on scripts. However, he again promised that it would not be a quick process. "This is a long-term partnership with Amazon – and these adaptations will take years to bring successfully to market," Rountree wrote in the company's annual report.

Final Fantasy 14's queues can get long—not for roulettes, mind, those are usually pretty nippy—but if you're trying to complete a specific alliance raid as a newer player, you can be stuck twiddling your thumbs for ages.

Square Enix is planning to make a change that'll fix that soon, though. In a recent blog post to the game's website, it's been announced that same-region player matchmaking'll be available starting November 10 after a successful trial period on its Japanese servers.

What does that mean? Basically, FF14's server architecture is into physical data centers (Japan, Europe, Oceania, and North America), then logical data centers, which are sort of like realms in other MMOs. For instance, the NA servers have Crystal, Aether, Dynamis, and Primal (then within those centers are "worlds", which can be travelled and matchmade between pretty easily).

You've been able to hop between these logical data centers manually for some time—it's pretty common, for instance, for Crystal players to hop on over to Aether to group up with folks for high-end content. But you need to log out to do so, with said parties constructed through the in-game party finder.

After November 10, however, matchmaking for things like roulettes will also be possible within the same physical data center, as will the party finder writ large, cross-world linkshells, fellowships, and friend list and /tell functionality. Travelling between data centers will also be made easier, too.

This is a huge quality-of-life boost that should massively cut down on queueing times—but it'll also make organising or creating groups for the aforementioned high-end content way easier, too, allowing folks to see and join listings for different logical data centers without having to hop between them.

My secret hope, as an EU player who's currently stuck on North American ping for community reasons (it's where all my mates are), is that this sort of functionality might one day lead to cross region travel so I can hop on over to the EU whenever I actually want to do content. A guy can dream.
