Total War Warhammer 2 has been announced

 
Total War Warhammer 2 has been announced, bringing Total War fans into a new world with four new races where the High Elves, Dark Elves, Lizardmen and an unknown race (Skaven?) will fight for dominion of the “new world”.
 
This game will launch with “The Great Vortex” campaign, but will also offer a combined grand campaign where the Old World of Total War Warhammer and the vast continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands are combined into a single, colossal combined Campaign. This campaign will only be available to those who own both games Total War Warhammer and Total War Warhammer 2. 
 
 
   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.

Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total Warâ„¢ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.
