For the tabletop, yes. They anounced late 2019 that they were developing it, it is set to release at the beginning of next year. So January of February. It is very creatively called "Warhammer: The Old World" an set in Warhammers past and a mix of what they liked best throughout the past editions. Here is the article overview on their community page.
Currently they are doing an article every monday taking a glance on the upcomig rules.
You'll be able to play with your old minis if you still have them. But they anounced earlier in the year that the base size for most minis will change to something bigger. Only thing concrete so far is that apparently every 20mm base will change to a 25mm base. (the basing article it talks a bit about Bretonnian armies before the basing)
Oh absolutely.
On the other hand, we'd probably have had to wait way longer for the games if they included every race from the get-go, if we would have gotten the games at all. But the day 1 DLCs? Yeah, those can go die in a fire.
Oh, and since you seem to be interested in the TT site of the Old World as well, are you reading the current article series on their community page for the new game?
Are there many still around these days? From the top of my head I only know of Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer.
The latter was so good it is bringing back the Old World from GW!
I actually bought some miniatures from an English company they only sell during events with some friends. Nothing amazing though and we weren't in any rush, just placing our order over the internet.
I know. I pretended to not know to let my smug Yuropeanness shine.
Real talk though, I know we have more than enough problems of our own and love to import the most stupid ones from you guys. Although we thankfully passed on this particular madness.
Still, thanks for the explanation. Might be helpfull for those who don't know and are too afraid to ask.
Basically they should have done what they did with the Starcraft remaster. But they fucked it up.
