Total War: WARHAMMER Announced!
The limitlessly deep and rich universe of Warhammer heralds a new era for Total War. Gigantic monsters, flying creatures, legendary heroes and storms of magical power take their place on the battlefield, alongside thousands of warriors clashing in real-time tactical battles.
In the turn-based campaign game, players will find the Old World an unforgiving and treacherous place, filled with endless war and cunning alliances alike. Whichever race you choose to play as and however you seek conquest, you will be faced with a conflict that threatens to tear the very fabric of reality asunder.
The first in an epic trilogy of titles, Total War: WARHAMMER will deliver hundreds of hours of absorbing gameplay. It will combine with two further standalone instalments and additional content packs to create the single largest Total War experience ever.
“We’ve always loved the Warhammer universe, and couldn’t wait to approach it with the same colossal scale and authenticity that has characterised our titles for the last 15 years,” said Total War: WARHAMMER Project Lead, Ian Roxburgh. “We’re bringing it to life in a way that nobody’s attempted before.”

Blood & Burning Hotfix Today
We’ve been listening to your thoughts on the Blood & Burning pack, so we’ve spent the last few weeks re-engineering it for greater impact (yes, that does mean buckets more claret). This hotfix is live now.
There’s a bunch of changes which we hope you’ll like, in particular the much wider range of combat animations which result in copious spillage. Blood decals now appear on all terrain types and they stick around longer, too. You can find the full list of improvements below.
Incidentally, you may notice some subtle changes to the mod manager in the ATTILA Launcher. This is because we’re preparing the ground for the release of the ATTILA Assembly Kit. It’s still in the oven but it’s nearly done, so stay tuned for imminent news!
Here’s what the Blood & Burning update includes:
- Added blood effects to over 140 more death and wounding animations.
- With graphics settings above performance/low, decapitations are now more frequent during battles.
- Improved blood effects in battles, made blood more visible and in some instances, spurts last longer.
- Added 14 more decapitation/dismemberment animations in battles.
- Blood will now spurt from the correct location when agents are killed on the
- Campaign map.
- Blood will now show on top of snow.
- Improved framerate when the camera is close to burning people on the battlefield.
- Increased the amount of vomiting when an army is suffering from sea sickness or plague.
- Greater frequency of gory animated event pictures.
- Blood decals will now remain longer on units and on the ground during battles.
- Improved blood effects from decapitation and dismemberment on the
- Campaign map after limbs/heads are severed.
- Units with seasickness on transport ships will now vomit.
- Units will no longer play two death animations in some cases when set alight by flaming arrows on the Battlefield.
- Fixed a couple of instances where units’ weapons changed while they vomited.
Other improvements:
- Local Network/LAN mode on Mac connectivity has been improved.
- Zooming into the family tree while selecting a target for a political intrigue no longer lets the player select invalid targets.
- Removed precursor weapons from Germanic Levy and Mercenary Saxon Spears.
- Fixed a rare save game crash on Mac versions.
- Improved shadows on the Campaign map on Mac.
- Fixed a rare crash in the End Turn cycle during Campaigns on Mac.
On today of all days, a Celtic Invasion! We’ve announced new factions for Total War: ATTILA.
Playable for the first time in ATTILA, the Celtic tribes of the Ebdanians, Caledonians and Picts specialise in swift and deadly warfare. Every unit in the Celtic roster has the Guerrilla Deployment trait, enabling them to deploy almost anywhere on the battlefield – even behind enemy lines.
The Celts are a raiding, looting and sacking based culture type. Each faction benefits from its own unique traits, but all share Celtic cultural traits that vastly increase their income from these activities. An all-new Celtic roster is available for recruitment, alongside new units unique to each faction.
Also included are new objectives, skills, tier-5 buildings, ancillaries and a new narrative event-chain.
