about the game

A match made in heaven (or the hellish depths of the Warp), Total War: Warhammer 2 combines Creative Assembly's incredibly successful Total War series of strategy games with the storied worlds of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy universe. As leaders of the proud High Elves, their vile Dark Elf kin, the arcane Slaan lizardmen, or the ingenious Skaven ratlings, you will wage war across old lands and new in a massive new narrative campaign for control of the magics of the Great Vortex.

Like the rest of its Total War siblings, Warhammer 2 sees you splitting time between a turn-based overmap strategic layer, where players marshal their armies, manage their empire's resources, and maneuver their forces against their foes. You'll need to do a careful dance of realm management as you improve your faction's resources, while advancing your hero's narrative quest lines and doing your best to foil the schemes of the other factions.

Once battle begins however, the action zooms in to real-time combat, in all its brutal glory. Freed from the historical settings of other Total War games, Creative Assembly runs wild with the sword and sorcery armies of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, allowing you to field anything from elven knights and wizards to dino-riding Slaan mystics and the myriad war engines that accompany the Skaven swarms. You'll unleash the monstrous hosts in gorgeously rendered real-time battles which allow you to zoom out for efficient command and control, or zoom in all the way down to the individual soldier's struggles against men and beasts, giving the battles an incredibly immersive feel.

The fun isn't just reserved for solo campaigns and skirmishes. Players can engage in multiplayer battles, pitting their best armies against the world, and there's even an option to play the narrative campaign in cooperative mode, with each player taking command of one of the two Legendary Lords that each faction can field, doubling the fun!

In a unique twist, owners of the original Total War: Warhammer can bring all of the armies they own from the original game into the new one, with a free “Mortal Empires” grand campaign DLC that covers the entire landmass of the Old World and the New, allowing you to bring all of the armies you own from the first game to pit against the new ones in Total War: Warhammer 2.
