Total War: Warhammer Arrives April 28, Chaos Faction Is Pre-Order DLC
Creative Assembly’s melding of its long-running Total War RTS series and Games Workshop’s fantasy universe has a release date. Total War: Warhammer arrives on April 28, 2016.
Those that pre-order will receive the Chaos Warrior Race Pack for free. This includes three legendary lords, mounts, units, monsters, quests, magical items, abilities, and a new campaign play style. You’ll be able to play the Chaos faction in the Grand Campaign mode and multiplayer.
In addition, Sega has announced a limited High King Edition. This includes the Chaos Warrior pack, a metal “grudge ring” that can be used in lieu of a six-sided die for tabletop games, a whetstone pendant, a dwarfen drinking horn, canvas map, art book, metal case, and insider guide.
The High King edition will be sold online for £99.99 (approximately $155) plus £33.50 shipping to the Unites States (approximately $52). The drinking horn is suitable for drinking your favorite beverage, if that helps you make a decision.
You can pre-order the game on Steam. If it’s the High King Edition you’re questing for, that’s available here.
Our Take
I’ve enjoyed the gameplay videos I’ve seen of Total War: Warhammer so far. I’m not as familiar with the Warhammer fantasy lore, but this could be my entry point. Anything that provides an alternative to breaking the bank on miniatures is a good thing.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
