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.

Total War: Warhammer 3 pre-load time - Steam, Game Pass, and Microsoft Store

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.
