The long-rumored Total War title set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe has been officially announced today by developers Creative Assembly and publisher Sega.
Titled Total War: Warhammer, the game is set to take the award-winning PC strategy series into a realm of epic high fantasy for the first time ever.
Here's what the description says:
Our rules have changed, and with change comes war on a scale as yet unimagined.
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. All at YOUR command.
In the turn-based campaign game of statecraft & empire building, you 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.
The trailer posted by the studio to announce the title was developed in CGI and isn't representative of in-engine gameplay.
More details are expected to be revealed about the game in the coming days and weeks. There is no release date for it yet.
