It’s been rumored for some time, but today, Sega officially announced that Total War: Warhammer is in development at Creative Assembly. Not only that, but the publisher also confirmed that this is just the first in a whole trilogy of Total War: Warhammer titles. Additional content packs will also be released for all three games.
So what are gamers getting themselves into? Well…
The limitlessly deep and rich universe of Warhammer heralds a new era for Total War. Gigantic monsters, flying creatures, legendary heroes and storms of magical power take their place on the battlefield, alongside thousands of warriors clashing in real-time tactical battles.
In the turn-based campaign game, players will find the Old World an unforgiving and treacherous place, filled with endless war and cunning alliances alike. Whichever race you choose to play as and however you seek conquest, you will be faced with a conflict that threatens to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.
Total War: Warhammer will be released “soon” for PC (Windows, Mac, SteamOS), but an official release date was not announced. In the mean time, check out the nearly-four-minute announcement cinematic embedded above.
