Within the Total Warhammer community there is a meme about Tuesdays being 'newsdays', but that meme may have to make way for Thursday, because Creative Assembly has taken today by storm with a trifecta of news we can most definitely use. Not only do we have a new Total War: Warhammer III release date, we also know what the early-adopter bonus race will be, and finally, it seems Warhammer III is coming to Game Pass for PC on day one.
Our resident Warhammer nerd (and fearless leader) Rich has been betting on the Ogre Kingdoms being in the strategy game pretty much since Warhammer III was announced, and they were all but confirmed when Ogres were introduced into Warhammer II earlier this year. It'd be silly to waste all of those art assets, after all.
Today's announcement finally confirms that, yes, Ogre Kingdoms will be a playable Warhammer III race. They will come with their own dedicated faction mechanics, unit roster, campaign, and two legendary lords - Greasus Goldtooth and Skrag the Slaughterer. More details on this race will be revealed in the coming weeks and months. Anyone who pre-orders Warhammer III or buys it within the first week of launch will get the Ogre Kingdoms Warhammer III DLC pack for free, after which it will be made available for anyone to purchase for a fee.

After taking a deep breath, Sega have shouted a large amount of news about Total War: Warhammer 3's launch. For starters, the release date is February 17th, 2022. For main course, folks who buy it within a week of launch will get the Ogre Kingdoms DLC for free. And for dessert, it will be in Xbox Game Pass For PC. A fair meal, there. But here, come meet the Ogres in this new trailer below.
