The Queen & The Crone is the next DLC for the excellent Total War: Warhammer 2, and includes “a number of new elite units, quest chains, magic items and skill trees, all centred around Queen Alarielle the Radiant and Crone Hellebron”. It’s out on May 31.
As a decades-long fan of Creative Assembly’s Total War series, I’m still coming to grips with the state of the latest game, Thrones of Britannia. It’s at times the worst Total War game I’ve ever played, and yet at others it’s doing everything I’ve been wanting this series to do for years.
Third Age, an old mod for Medieval II Total War, remains one of the best mods you can get for any PC strategy game. It’s about to get some competition, though, from Total War: Rise of Mordor, a new mod that’s now got a playable alpha available you can check out.
Having made one hell of a detour into the lands of Warhammer, Total War is returning to its historical roots for its next big strategy game. And it’s doing so in a region the series has never visited before: China.
The Tomb Kings, sadly absent from the core campaign of Total War: Warhammer II, are coming as part of an expansion on January 23.
Rome 2 was a dull, sprawling mess of a game, easily the weakest release in the Total War series in the past decade. The Warhammer games that followed have improved on it in almost every way imaginable, so Creative Assembly are going back in time (with some lessons learned) to try and get Rome 2 in fighting shape.
Total War: Rome is already out on iPad, but in early 2018 it’s coming to iPhone as well. It’ll cost $10. Hope you’ve got a long commute.
Total War: Warhammer II is a great strategy game. In no small part because it looks amazing.
Let’s keep this simple: Total War: Warhammer was a very good strategy game. Total War: Warhammer 2 is better.
I had some very nice things to say about Total War: Warhammer a year ago when I reviewed it, but over the last week I thought I’d check back in and see how it was faring after 12 months of updates and DLC. I was happy to find that a very good game has got even better.
Those who prefer Total War’s historical games to its Warhammer outing should keep an eye on Total War Saga, a new series of “standalone spin-off titles focusing on exciting pivotal moments in history.”
Total War : Warhammer II (aka Total Warhammer II) will arrive on PC September 28. Those who preorder the base game or the $150 Serpent God edition within the first week of availability get a free race pack for the original Total Warhammer.
Sega and Creative Assembly announced a new Total War game over the weekend. It’s a sequel to last years excellent Total War: Warhammer.
One of the greatest PC strategy games of all time is now available on the iPad. Looks like a fairly straightforward port, too.
It’s always a pleasure when I get to showcase the work of an entire team on Fine Art, and doubly so when it’s a game that I really, really like.
I was so ready to hate this game.
Total War: Warhammer had previously locked an entire race, the Chaos Warriors, behind pre-order DLC, but the developer has since reversed its position. Now, the Chaos Warriors will be free for anyone who pre-orders or buys the game—until a week after release. It’s a good compromise.
It’s a competitive game.
There was a good chunk of time there when the Total War series was one of the best things on the PC. Its combination of real-time battles and turn-based planning made it a lot of people’s—mine included—perfect strategy game. Then along came Total War: Rome II.
Creative Assembly, the guys behind the Total War series—some of my favourite games—have along with publisher Sega tried something slightly different for their next release’s DLC. And it hasn’t gone down too well.
