Total War: Warhammer II is an upcoming turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. It is part of the Total War video game series and a sequel to 2016's Total War: Warhammer. The game is set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. The game is scheduled to be released for Windows-based personal computers (PCs) on 28 September 2017.
Total War: Warhammer II features turn-based strategy and real-time tactics gameplay similar to other games in the Total War series. The game's four playable races in campaign are Lizardmen, High Elves, Dark Elves, and Skaven. Those that own races from the first game will have the same races unlocked for multiplayer in the second and a grand campaign map spanning the first and second games' campaign maps will be released in a patch after launch. The game's campaign will be more narrative oriented than the sandbox campaign of the first game with each race battling to save or destroy the Great Vortex over Ulthuan.
Total War: Warhammer II is set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe. The game takes place across four continents—Ulthuan, Naggaroth, The Southlands, and Lustria. The game will center around the four races' battle to control the Great Vortex in Ulthuan.
Total War: Warhammer II is being developed by UK-based video game studio Creative Assembly.
Total War: Warhammer II was announced by developer Creative Assembly in March 2017 at EGX Rezzed. It is the second instalment in a planned trilogy of Total War: Warhammer games. The game is scheduled to be released for Windows-based personal computers (PCs) on 28 September 2017, with Sega publishing. Shortly after the launch of Warhammer II, Creative Assembly plans to release a free update for players who own the game and its predecessor which adds a combined campaign map that is composed of regions from both games.
