Total War: Warhammer – New Release Date and Recommended Specs Announced
Today SEGA and Creative Assembly announced a change to the release date for Total War: Warhammer, moving the launch of the game back by a month to the 24th May 2016.
“This could be the best Total War game we’ve ever made. We don’t want to rush it.” said Mike Simpson, Creative Director for Total War, “It’s an enormous game and we also want to make absolutely sure reviewers have enough time to play it thoroughly before launch.”
“Many thanks to the huge number of people who have pre-ordered and are eagerly awaiting release day. We’re pulling out all the stops for you.”
With the game now set to release worldwide on the 24th May, the minimum and recommended specs have been finalised, revealing that Total War: Warhammer will be the first 64Bit Total War title. CA is also releasing an additional ‘60fps+ Spec’ for those gamers looking to hit that threshold during battles, and has added additional detail on the frame rate performance you can expect from each specification.
A fantasy strategy game of legendary proportions, Total War: Warhammer combines an addictive turn-based campaign of conquest and empire-building with explosive, colossal, real-time battles, all set in the vivid and incredible world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Total War: Warhammer will release on May 24th 2016 and is available now to pre-order.
Total War: Warhammer 'Vampire Counts' In-Engine Cinematic Trailer
Vampire Counts Arise! The final, as-yet-unseen playable Race from Total War: Warhammer is revealed.
In the forsaken lands of Sylvania, the sun refuses to rise. Twisted, buckled trees and a windless mist herald the advance of a darkness that has haunted the nightmares of men for millennia. An unliving host advances, a tide of resurrected corpses, driven on by necromantic magic and the immortal will of their masters.
Far from home, an Empire Witch Hunter seeking the source of this corruption will soon find that there are fates in the Old World far worse than death. The Vampire Counts have arisen, and today in this brand new in-engine trailer, they are unleashed.
All tremble before the Midnight Aristocracy! Led by Mannfred von Carstein, chief acolyte of necromantic magic and the Vampire Counts’ most cunning son, battalions of age-dead soldiers march forth to claim the Old World in the name of the undead. Moldering legions of Grave Guard, Skeletons, colossal aberrations and bat-winged beasts lay siege to gigantic Dwarfen citadels whilst Mannfred himself prowls the skies on his ferocious Zombie Dragon.
The Vampire Counts are masters of Death magic and necromancy and those that stand and fall before their might will not remain fallen for long.
An exclusive Vampire Counts battle will be streamed live for the first time today at 6:00pm PDT/1: 00am GMT at twitch.tv/totalwarofficial. This stream will also be available to watch on the Total War Twitch channel later, for those unable to watch the stream live.
Vampire Counts join the Greenskins, Dwarfs and Empire as the fourth playable race in Total War: Warhammer.

Total War: Warhammer ~ Introducing The Master Necromancer
Introducing... Master Necromancer
Drifting between the living and the dead, a Master Necromancer summons undead minions to fight enemies on his behalf.
Necromancers are amongst the most cursed of all those who practice the magical arts, for they have exchanged their humanity for the ability to raise the dead and command them to wage war upon the living. Strange as it may seem, these depraved madmen have made this dread pact willingly. At the heart of each Necromancer’s morbid obsession is the need to subjugate and punish those who have persecuted him in the past, regardless of the cost.
As a man follows the dark path of the Necromancer, he becomes ever more detached from his mortal roots. Morbidly questing after the secrets of death, a Necromancer deeply steeped in the lore of the dead stands on the threshold between worlds, neither wholly alive, nor one of the Undead. His body twisted with unholy power, his mind seared by the horrors he has witnessed, a Necromancer often has more in common with his lurching, moaning minions than with the living he seeks to slay...
It is said that Vargheists are the darkness in a Vampire’s ragged soul made manifest.
Vampire siblings not slain outright, are imprisoned in the catacombs far below the von Carstein castles, sealed in stone sarcophagi and forgotten… As warpstone tainted water leaks into the baroque cocoon, a dread change takes place.
