Alright, so we’ve got Warhammer mixing with Total War - but what does that mean really? Creative Assembly are now ready to show us what it means with a 10 minute long pre-Alpha gameplay walkthrough with developer commentary.
We’re shown the Battle of Black Fire Pass where negotiations over tea and crumpets haven’t gone well, so it’s war! This gameplay video ”depicts a desperate clash” between the Empire and the Greenskin horde.
”Accompanied with developer commentary, this scripted battle demo is taken from work-in-progress code and depicts a desperate clash between the forces of the Empire led by Emperor Karl Franz and a Greenskin horde led by Orc Warboss Grimgor Ironhide.”
This is the battle that ”formed the basis” of E3 2015’s press demos for Total War: Warhammer.
”…and offers a glimpse of the tremendous diversity of battlefield units, spells, war machines, monstrous creatures and fantasy environments that will appear in the final game.”
“As a Quest Battle available specifically to Karl Franz, it represents one of many bespoke, optional encounters players will unlock as they progress through a campaign with their chosen Legendary Lord.” We’ve already had the in-engine cinematic trailer for this battle.
Total War: Warhammer is in development for PC with release scheduled for 2016.
