Feral Interactive today announced that Total War: WARHAMMER II, the second instalment of the epic fantasy strategy series, will be released for macOS and Linux this year. Originally developed by Creative Assembly in partnership with Games Workshop and published by SEGA for Windows, Total War: WARHAMMER II is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed Total War: WARHAMMER, also brought to macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive.
Total War: WARHAMMER II puts players in command of one of four fantastical Races, challenging them to wage a war of conquest in order to stabilise or disrupt the apocalyptically powerful Great Vortex. The engrossing narrative campaign is set across four strikingly distinct continents: tropical Lustria, icy Naggaroth, the sophisticated Isle of Ulthuan, and the deserts, jungles and savannahs of the sprawling Southlands.
On the campaign map, players will engage in turn-based empire building as they manage teeming settlements, recruit vast armies, negotiate alliances and wage war. In real-time tactical battles, they will command legendary heroes, spellcasters, dragons and mutated mounts as they execute meticulous battle plans including ambushes, cavalry charges and brutal war machine attacks.
The second in an epic trilogy of titles, Total War: WARHAMMER II will combine with Total War: WARHAMMER and the planned Total War: WARHAMMER III (as well as additional content packs), to create the Mortal Empires campaign, the single largest Total War experience ever.
“The race to control the Great Vortex adds a thrilling dimension to the campaign because every advance players make raises the stakes for their faction,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “Not only must players contend with rivals for the Vortex’s power, but also with the dire consequences of success – each time they increase their control over the Vortex, the monstrous forces of Chaos are released into their lands…”
Pricing and system requirements will be confirmed closer to release.
