Sega and Creative Assembly announced today that Total War: WARHAMMER II will be released on September 28, 2017. Gamers who purchase the strategy title before or during its launch week will be rewarded with exclusive ingame content for the first Total War: WARHAMMER (Race Pack DLC)

The publisher has also pledged to allow access for journalists and Youtubers before the game is out, so players can read/watch reviews and make an informed buying decision based on them.

In a Total War campaign like no other, players will struggle for dominion over the ailing Great Vortex that has swirled for millennia above the elven homeland of Ulthuan. Performing a series of arcane rituals, each race must save or disrupt the Vortex according to their motivations – a struggle culminating in a cataclysmic endgame. Territorial conquest is no longer enough… this is a race for control that will define the fate of the world!
