This means Warhammer III will definitely have a stronger emphasis on Chaos' forces, and a variety of pre-existing factions will likely change to mimic this pivot. However, all signs point to the Ogre Kingdoms and Chaos Dwarfs filling those two slots. Two additional races are coming but have yet to be announced. As it stands, the 'new' races announced for Warhammer III include Kislev (based on Medieval Russia), Grand Cathay (based on Imperial China), and dedicated factions for each of Warhammer's Chaos Gods (Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh). I will be looking at all of the factions that are in Warhammer II and speculate how Creative Assembly will change them to fit the theme and scope of Warhammer III. No matter, the subject of this eventual three-part series is pretty simple.
Give me more Warhammer, even if it means selling my soul to Satan! I love this franchise I love it so much it hurts. The Warhammer III trailer got me excited in a way I have not been excited for a video game in years. I am entirely aware Warhammer III's 'Mortal Empires' campaign will not be a part of the game at launch and will likely be sold as DLC in 2022. I understand the game will launch much like Warhammer II did in that it will be limited to a small-scale campaign showcasing only a handful of ' new' factions. Total War: Warhammer III's reveal trailer is less than a month old, but the game is already my most anticipated 2021 title.
