Who are the playable factions in Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2?

In Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, players can choose to play as either the Necrons, a deathless killer robot faction, or the Adeptus Mechanicus, a technology-obsessed faction from the Imperium.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus expands on the lore of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Adeptus Mechanicus are known for their worship of the Machine God and their vast engineering capabilities. The Necrons, ancient robotic warriors, awaken from millennia of slumber to reclaim their lost dynasties, often clashing with other factions for control and survival in a war-torn galaxy. The first Mechanicus game was lauded for its deep strategy and atmospheric storytelling, setting high expectations for the sequel.
