Forums - Gaming - Total War: Warhammer 2 announced

After revealing work was well underway last month, Sega and Creative Assembly have now officially announced Total War: Warhammer 2. Naturally, they've marked the occasion with an announcement trailer. 

Shall we watch that first? Let's:

                                          

Typically stylish, that there flaunts the game's three currently revealed races in the High Elves, Dark Elves and Lizardmen who will do battle "across enchanted isles, bleak hinterlands, treacherous swamps and perilous jungles", so says Sega. Across four continents—Ulthuan, Naggaroth, The Southlands, and Lustria—players will strive to conquer a new world where victory is hinged upon more than simple territorial dominance.   

"Players will struggle for dominion over the ailing Great Vortex that has swirled for millennia above the elven homeland of Ulthuan," continues Sega. "Performing a series of arcane rituals, each race must save or disrupt the Vortex according to their motivations—a struggle culminating in a cataclysmic endgame."

Speaking to PC Gamer at EGX Rezzed, Creative Assembly made clear its desire to push players well into each campaign's endgame where "territorial conquest is no longer enough." 

Further to the new playing field, Sega says a "vast combined campaign map", covering areas from both the original game and Total War: Warhammer 2, will be made available for free shortly after release for owners of both games. Should they desire, players will in turn be able to delve into the new campaign with any owned playable race from the series.

No launch date just yet, but Total War: Warhammer 2 is due at some stage later this year. Before you go, though—do you reckon that's The Skaven being teased at the trailer's end?

Not really into the Total War series as it's not my brand of Strategy games, but it's nice to see that Sega has already got a sequel on the way.

Brilliant. The rumours were true. Lizardmen!!!!

Now I just need to get a computer capable of playing DX11 games, oh and the first game.... and then I can get on this sequel!

And it'll only cost you two thousand dollars .

Wait, wut? You joking about all the DLC they've released or how much computers cost these days? :O

Nah, just kidding about you having to spend 2k on building a PC to play a DX version of the game .

You don't ened to spend 12k at all, but the myth that PC gaming is super expensive is still alive, to a point where it's become a meme.

heh, it may not be that expensive. But getting a new DX11 capable graphics card is still more expensive than I'd like. Kind of annoying too, didn't even realise my current couldn't do DX11 until I downloaded a game and it was just like "nope, not happening"

Eh, not everything is going to be extremely cheap =P.

What card are you sporting btw?. Also the series is mostly CPU intensive than GPU.

ah... it's an Nvidia? That's about all I know though, not near my computer to check either

I think my PC is fine for the CPU side, it just can't run DX11 games at all and Total War Warhammer says DX11 is a minimum so

Type in dxdiag in the start menu or the run command box, then go to display and it should tell you what GPU you are using.

heh, like I said not near my PC. It's a long long way away. Only got my laptop atm which is... not good for gaming. But hey, one day I'll be with me PC again

When you get the chance to get close to your PC, type it in and see what it gives
