Total War: Warhammer Revealed

Sega announces the first title in a trilogy.

Total War: Warhammer has been officially announced for PC, Mac and SteamOS by Sega and developer Creative Assembly.

Total War: Warhammer will be the first in a trilogy and will include two additional standalone titles and additional content packs.

Total War: Warhammer will let you control "gigantic monsters, flying creatures, legendary heroes and storms of magical power" - the sorts of fantastical abilities Total War and its historical accuracy has been allergic to in the past.

"Our rules have changed," noted Sega in the press release, "and with change comes war on a scale as yet unimagined. The limitlessly deep and rich universe of Warhammer heralds a new era for Total War."

The game will feature a turn-based campaign with real-time battles, as the Total War series has since inception.

SEGA has yet to reveal a release date for Total War: Warhammer.
