A "prototype" of Total Warhammer 3's Mortal Empires map has been datamined

Creative Assembly has confirmed that a datamined version of Total War: Warhammer 3's combined map is actually a "very old prototype". The strategy game's spin on the Mortal Engines map will be "big", though "nothing else is final at the moment".

Not long after the game launched, fans pulled a vast list of regions from the new PC game's files. While we know that Ind, Nippon, and Khuresh are "probably never" coming to Total War: Warhammer 3, the datamined list still suggested a hulking mass of land to conquer could be on the cards. According to Three Moves Ahead producer Leana Hafer, the list featured "about 40% more total settlements than Mortal Empires", which would have been pretty wild. A picture of the map itself was also dug up, which gave us a sense of its scale.

A representative of Creative Assembly who goes by the username Pete_CA then confirmed on Discord that the datamine is a "very old prototype version of the map". They do add, though, that the combined map "will be big", though "nothing else is final at the moment". So sit tight, folks.
