Creative Assembly announced today that customers who either purchase Total War: WARHAMMER II during its first week on sale or preorder it will receive the Norsca Race Pack for the original Total War: WARHAMMER free of charge.

This DLC will be released on August 10th, and it costs US$ 8.99 on its own. Players will be able to control two new factions led by unique Legendary Lords and engage in multi stage Monster Hunt quests, tracking down and killing the ferocious beasts that roam the Norsca peninsula.

Total War: WARHAMMER – Norsca

In the far north, between the Chaos Wastes and the Sea of Claws, lies Norsca. A barren, inhospitable peninsula in the far north of the Old World, it is home to ferocious tribes of warriors, hardened by the relentless blizzards, the barren icy tundra and the monstrous denizens of this accursed land. Fanatical servants of the dark gods, they will stop at nothing to prove their primal might, in a relentless hunt for worthy foes and fresh raiding grounds.
