Total War: Warhammer 3 is the conclusion of a trilogy, bringing the forces of Kislev and Grand Cathay to bear (literally) against the four dark gods and their armies of demons. Sometime post-launch, an update will allow owners of all three games to join them together into one massive campaign, which may finallyrealize the vision of the tabletop game.
With the developers ensuring Total War: Warhammer 3 gets this extra polish, it could end up being one of thebest PC gamesavailable when it arrives. Numerous other titles have been delayed out of 2021, leading to a somewhat lighterholiday 2021 release scheduleand a seemingly-stacked lineup for the first half of 2022.
The Ruinous Powers awaken
Total War: Warhammer 3 promises an incredible amount of content for players to enjoy. If you preorder, you’ll also get a yet-unrevealed race pack. Best of all, if you have the first two games, you’ll be able to combine them sometime after launch into one ultra-Warhammer campaign.
