Lands of the East to the daemon-infested Realms of Chaos. Experience strategy
gaming on a scale yet unseen in this epic culmination to the Total War:
WARHAMMER trilogy.
Featuring iconic new races from the World of Warhammer Fantasy Battles,
including the video-game debut of Kislev and Cathay alongside the factions of
Chaos – Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch - players will wage war with the
most diverse array of legendary heroes, gargantuan monsters, flying creatures
and magical powers that the series has ever seen.
"Our vision, from the start, was to create a series that felt like an incredible
journey through this world we all loved.," said Game Director, Ian Roxburgh.
"The enormous support of our players in ensuring the success of the first two
instalments has pushed our ambition to new heights, and we can't wait for
everyone to experience it."
"The craft, dedication and authenticity to the Warhammer world that Creative
Assembly has poured into the celebrated Total War Warhammer franchise over the
years has been a delight to us at Games Workshop and fans worldwide." said Jon
Gillard, Global Head of Licensing. "Creating and developing the armies of Cathay
and Kislev for this project has been a lot of fun for our designers and we're
looking forward to seeing them take to the field in this huge third game in the
series."
Embarking on a new grand campaign, you will be tasked with saving or exploiting
the power of a dying god. Each race offers a unique journey through the
nightmarish Chaos Realm, culminating in an endgame that will determine the fate
of the world.
The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command
them?
