Total War: WARHAMMER III News

Total War: Warhammer 3 is already the best-selling game on Steam

Creative Assembly has finally made Total War: Warhammer III official after years of anticipation, and while the studio has only provided a few concrete details on what to expect, the simple announcement has been more than enough for eager fans. Total War: Warhammer III is already the best-selling game on Steam.

Total War: Warhammer III shot to the top of Steam's global top sellers chart shortly after the announcement, and it's been cemented there ever since. The price is set at $59.99 / £49.99 / €59.99, and you will get an additional race as a pre-order bonus - though we don't yet know what that race is going to be.

Steam's top seller ranking is a bit nebulous, but it ranks games based on revenue generated in an unspecified (but short) period of time. Warhammer III is currently outranking recent indie hits like Valheim and Tale of Immortal. We'll have to wait for the weekly sales ranking this weekend to know if Warhammer III can hold off the entire week's worth of sales. (I'm guessing yes.)

Total War: Warhammer 3 races - every faction confirmed, and a few that aren't

One of the biggest questions and causes of speculation around Total War: Warhammer III is simply: what will the launch races be?

Developer Creative Assembly has promised to include all 15 of the Warhammer eighth edition core races in its Total War games, which at this point leaves only Ogre Kingdoms and Daemons of Chaos. The studio has also promised that each game would have four races at launch. But with the Daemons sort-of breaking down into four smaller armies, one for each of the Dark Gods, how would Creative Assembly handle that? And who, other than ogres and daemons, could otherwise populate the new map?

Such were the questions ahead of the Total Warhammer 3 reveal trailer. Now that it's dropped, we have answers. And we're also able to speculate further into the future with a little more accuracy. These are all the races currently confirmed for Total War: Warhammer 3, plus a few others that are native to the lands where it will likely be set, and thus are candidates to arrive later via DLC.

Total War: Warhammer 3's campaign map is twice the size of the last one

Total War: Warhammer III is on the way, Creative Assembly has confirmed today, and it's going to be big. Really big. The studio behind the massively popular strategy game series says the third and final chapter of the Total War: Warhammer trilogy roughly doubles the size of the last campaign map, with part of the territory "giving way to Chaos."

Speaking to PC Gamer, Warhammer III game director Ian Roxburgh says that the campaign map this time out can fairly be described as having an "unprecedented scale" in terms of the ambition Creative Assembly has brought to bear on the project. There are new features, new playable races, and a big new narrative arc to experience. But perhaps the most easily quantifiable new element is the massive new map.

"It's big," Roxburgh said. "Roughly twice the size of Warhammer II's Eye of the Vortex map ... And it needs to be, as this is the part of the Warhammer world that gives way to the Realms of Chaos, which take up a significant area in their own right."
