Available: Late 2021

Quote:
The cataclysmic conclusion to the Total War: WARHAMMER trilogy is coming. In Total War: WARHAMMER III each choice you make will shape the reality-shattering conflict to come; from the mysterious Lands of the East to the daemon-infested Realms of Chaos.


Will you conquer your Daemons… or command them? Coming 2021.

Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it.

The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. Nurgle, the plague god; Slaanesh, the lord of excess; Tzeentch, the changer of ways; and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter.

On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos.

The world stands on a precipice. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm.

And there is one who schemes to achieve just that, an ancient figure who desires nothing less than to wield supreme power. But to succeed, he will need a champion…

The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?

Nagash? He is due to turn up in this game. I wonder if the main campaign is some sort of variation of the Vortex thing but instead it's a ritual to revive Nagash? Not sure why the Chaos factions would really give a shit though.

Huh, launching on Epic as well. Also seems like they lied about not doing pre-order race packs again.

Why would Nagash need a champion? Some of the lords of the Tomb Kings are basically his puppets.

I bet the pre-order race is going to be Chaos Undivided since it's the cheapest to make. Mr. Green

Chaos undivided was already pre-order for game 1, Archaon and friends. It just needs some daemons. Sounds like they are getting a new lord.

As to Nagash, he needs his bits picked up and reconstituted in a ritual, as happened in the End Times novels. Arkhan the Black is his main bitchling, but he still needs a hand given the size of the task. Although I don't know how that would work restricted to the Darklands since most of his artefacts are on the game 1 and 2 maps.

Chaos Dwarfs could be an option for the preorder race.

If I remember correctly, Settra's campaign ends with the battle at the black pyramid which is inspired by the End Times.

There are a few references to Nagash in the various Tomb King campaign epilogues. It's pretty much a guarantee he'll turn up at some point in WH3. The only question is whether it's just as a random DLC or if he is directly tied to the main campaign. I have to say I'd be disappointed (but unsurprised) at the former, but I'm still scratching my head as to how exactly the latter would work.

Date there says "31.12"

I mean, what... the... fuck...

PLATFORMS & STOREFRONTS
WHICH PLATFORMS WILL TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER III BE AVAILABLE ON?
Total War: WARHAMMER III will be available on PC, and will also be available as close to launch day as possible on macOS and Linux thanks to our friends at Feral Interactive – we’ll be confirming exactly when closer to release day.

WHICH STORES WILL TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER III BE AVAILABLE THROUGH?
You can pick up your copy of Total War: WARHAMMER III on Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can also purchase your Steam or Epic Games Store key directly from Creative Assembly here – the only difference is that more of the price you pay will go directly to the studio.

Other digital storefronts are also available – please check SEGA’s list of approved partners here.

Physical copies of Total War: WARHAMMER III will also be available in most territories – please check with your preferred local game stockist.

ARE THERE ANY PLANS FOR ANY TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER III CONTENT TO BE EXCLUSIVE TO A PARTICULAR STORE?
No, all Total War: WARHAMMER III content will be released simultaneously on all storefronts.

WILL TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER AND TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER II BE AVAILABLE ON THE EPIC GAMES STORE IN THE FUTURE?
Yes, we hope to add these games – and their DLC – to the Epic Games Store before Total War: WARHAMMER III launches.


CAN I PURCHASE DLC FOR TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER GAMES I OWN ON ONE STORE ON ANOTHER (AND VICE VERSA)?
Currently it’s not possible to track the different Total War: WARHAMMER content you own across different storefronts. So, for example, if you buy Total War: WARHAMMER on the Epic Games Store, you will also need to buy the DLC on the Epic Games Store in order to use it.

The same applies for claiming the free Mortal Empires DLC – you would need to own both Total War: WARHAMMER and Total War: WARHAMMER II on the same store in order to claim it.

However, we hope to introduce this functionality through Total War Access in the future, which would enable you to link your Steam and Epic Games Store accounts through Total War Access in order to be able to play and purchase games and DLC on any storefront you wish.


We cannot guarantee this functionality at any point currently but will continue to work towards it in cooperation with the storefront operators.


They have almost a year to implement that shit, otherwise, they won't sell shit on EGS, lol.

Don't forget that huge fringe group, who a) don't own WHH1 or 2 AND b) prefer EGS over Steam...

I'm sure all 2 of those people will be ecstatic Smile

It's still pretty easy to faceroll if you know what you are doing. While the power creep is real, the underlying AI code hasn't changed and is still as retarded as ever. The only thing that has changed is that said power creep rewards cheesing and doomstacking more than ever, which a lot of people get pissy about, since it's not really practical for them to field their balanced armies with a staunch line of spears.

No info yet on what changes, if any, there will be over WH2. I'd expect some minor improvements, but don't expect miracles.

GFX is fine. I hope they spend their time on more pressure matters. Like... gameplay and such.

Well as far as the engine goes, there are performance issues, even in Three Kingdoms and Troy, so there is certainly room for improvement. But I'm not holding my breath. They did make some remarkable headway on Mortal Empires turn times though, so I suppose a miracle could happen. Although I have to wonder how much of that was down to engine improvements vs just simplifying the AI even further.

One of the leaked screenshots show ability to build shit on the battlefield. It could get interesting. The Chaos realms are kinda "meh" so hopefully they can make them more interesting.
