What is Total War: Warhammer?

Total War: Warhammer is a turn-based and real-time strategy game developed by Creative Assembly.

About
Total War: Warhammer transplants the beloved gameplay of the Total War series into the enormously popular Warhammer fantasy setting created by Games Workshop. Players will be challenged with leading one of several factions as they attempt to wrest control of the land, with each different faction offering up its own gameplay mechanics and unique challenges.

The game will feature a sandbox campaign familiar to anyone that's played previous Total War titles. The turn-based portion of the game allows players to engage in long-term strategy as they make decisions that will shape their empire, while individual battles switch to real-time to allow each and every military decision to carry weight.

With more unit variety than ever before, and new refinements to the series' tried-and-tested foundational gameplay, Total War: Warhammer is a must-play for fans of the Total War and Warhammer franchises alike.
