And it looks incredible. We already know that Creative Assembly can knock it out of the park when it comes to blending its Total War franchise with the fantasy world of Warhammer, so odds are this will play as good as it looks. And with the introduction of the Lizardmen, and dinosaurs, you can already feel the hype.

Any trailer for a sequel that makes you fire up Steam and load the first game for a quick turn or two, is onto something.



And boy does it sound good.

The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a breathtaking new narrative campaign, set across the vast continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands. The Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title to date.

Playing as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must succeed in performing a series of powerful arcane rituals in order to stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress of the other races. Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position, and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters, Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new battlefield bombardment abilities.

And its out sometime later this year.
