*= Er, no, we’ve not decided on a name for this yet. Also, no Vortex story mechanics here: this is pure conquest, with all the playable races and factions we’ve released so far (plus a ton of AI controlled ones) vying for dominance across the continents.īy the end of the trilogy, we intend there to be 5 massive campaigns to choose from across all three parts:įree Campaign for Owners of Parts 1, 2 & 3 It’s not a straight stitch-‘n’-fit job, and it can’t be – the Old World and Eye of The Vortex campaign maps are designed to be standalone they’re different shapes and don’t ‘fit together’. We’ll be taking the iconic territory of the Old World you know from the first game and expanding outwards to the West, taking in key territories from Lustria, the Southlands, Naggaroth and Ulthuan to massively expand the playable area. Mortal Empires will sit alongside The Old World and Eye of the Vortex as an epic fantasy strategy experience, a playable campaign in its own right, accessed through the Warhammer II menu. Shortly after Warhammer II launches, owners of both parts one and two will get to play a key part of that grand vision with our first FreeLC download: Total War: WARHAMMER – Mortal Empires. Parts two and three would explore other geographical areas and races. We also said we’d do this in three stages: part one would cover the geographical area of the Old World. All those races from 8 th Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles with army books, each with their own starting positions, all playable in the kind of holistic, mega-sandbox of Warhammer joy nobody has ever attempted before. We’ve long spoken about our end-goal for the Total War: Warhammer trilogy: to realise the Warhammer Fantasy Battles world in the most complete and detailed way as possible.

It’s been fascinating to hear how our test groups and reviewers, Youtubers and livestreamers are reacting to this new type of endgame in Total War, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on it soon. We’re a couple of weeks out from part II launching, and we’re stoked about how the Eye of the Vortex campaign is going down. Across the whole Total War: Warhammer trilogy, each instalment will stand alone as its own game, each with its own discrete campaign.
