Creative Assembly’s second RTS Warhammer title, Total War: WARHAMMER 2, arrived last fall, and, much like the turns you’ll take in the campaign, we’ve been taking our time with it. There are some great improvements and additions to the game, though there are still a few quirks that we hope will get worked out in the long-run....
If, like me, you have fond memories of commanding hordes of the Undead and moving miniatures about on your best friend's dining room table, then you'll likely be excited to hear that the Tomb Kings (the second offshoot from the larger "Undead" category) will be added to Total War: WARHAMMER 2 in January via paid DLC. This is the first new playable race that is getting added to the game after its September release.
It was promised when the title was announced earlier this year and Creative Assembly has delivered. The free "Mortal Empires" DLC was put up on Steam last week and owners of both Total War: WARHAMMER 2 and Total War: WARHAMMER can now play as 12 of the possible 13 factions (Norscans will be added later) across a large map that combines the "Old World" map from the first game with the "Eye of the Vortex" of the second.
Total War: WARHAMMER II arrived last Thursday, bringing with it the opportunity to play as spell-casting frogs, the darkest of elves, the highest of elves, and some other race that probably isn't worth mentioning. Mike and Jason took it for a spin last night and discussed what's new from the previous entry, and how the co-op works this time around.
We're coming to the close of September, which means Fall is officially kicking off. Next month is the appropriate time to start putting up Halloween decorations AND NOT THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST, CONVENIENCE STORES!!! Anyways, there are a handful of co-op title releases this week, like Cuphead and Total War: WARHAMMER 2, as well as the arrival of the SNES Classic and the final DLC for Nioh.
