Total War: WARHAMMER III News

Total War: Warhammer 3 review - triumphant strategy trilogy

My Daemon Prince, Egrimm, crosses into the Realm of Chaos, and I'm feeling confident; I'm the first contender in this cosmic game show to enter Tzeentch's fun house. But then, a twist: having arrived several turns after me, Skarbrand walks into a portal that sends him directly to the final round, where a daemon soul awaits in the Impossible Fortress, but only for one claimant. The rest of us will leave with nothing.

The portal was unfixed, its path random, and so his success is blind luck. Having worked to uncover the path the proper way, I'm now a turn behind him, able to catch up but not overtake. My only option is to take him out of the game by force, so I break our non-aggression pact and attack. I get the soul, but Skarbrand - 'roid rage in daemon form - bears a grudge for the rest of the campaign. He becomes a constant menace on the icy northern shores of my empire, until I bribe N'Kari into distracting him for me.

It's not exactly an emergent story, but it's certainly an anecdote. Warhammer fans may get an extra kick out of it as it's lore-authentic: the forces of Chaos working together until pride and jealousy - mine, in this case - intervenes to stop the ascent of a rival. This is what Total War: Warhammer III's new Realm of Chaos campaign delivers - and you can pre-order it here, coincidentally.

Total War: Warhammer 3 review: a heavyweight RTS with transformative changes to multiplayer

Total War: Warhammer 3 is an extremely hard game to review in isolation. It’s utterly massive in itself, with eight hulking single player campaigns at launch, not to mention a greatly expanded range of multiplayer and PvE skirmish options. But that’s just the start of it. For indeed, just like beloved Warhammer villain Ebeneezer Scrooge, any attempt to form an opinion on this game has to contend not just with the present, but with the bedevilments of its past and future to boot.

While it is very much a game you can buy and enjoy on its lonesome, TWW3 is perhaps better considered as the last, grand instalment of a game whose release began nearly eight years ago with Total War: Warhammer. It’s a genuinely epic construction; a proper Pillars-Of-The Earth-level feat of game development. And here’s where the future sticks the boot in. Because while the last stones of this electric cathedral have been lowered into place, the phone line to God hasn’t been wired in yet.

It's been over four years since the last game in the series but Total War: Warhammer III is finally nearly here, the eagerly-awaited sequel to one of the best real-time strategy games on PC. The release date is down for February 17 but what about the Total War: Warhammer III pre-load time? When can players on Steam and Game Pass start downloading the latest Total War?

It's been announced that all Total War: Warhammer III pre-loads will begin this Tuesday, February 15 - a full two days before the strategy title's release date, so anyone who's pre-ordered will have plenty of time to download the game before it comes out and jump into it the second it does.

Pre-loading will be available on all storefronts Total War: Warhammer III is available on, meaning Steam, Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass - which is good, as some Game Pass releases don't get the option to pre-load. Just make sure you have enough hard drive space, as the latest Total War takes up a whopping 120GB.
