“It’s fantastic to finally put a release date on our epic third instalment,” said Chief Product Officer, Rob Bartholomew. It is also confirmed that it will be available on Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one. In Warhammer lore they rarely get along very well, so it's easy to imagine that they may invade each other's realms to prove who gets to be the headlining act at the apocalypse.The game company announced that the upcoming third installment of the Total War Warhammer series will be launching on Februon PC. While Creative Assembly didn't want to spoil too much about the story, they did confirm that each of the four Chaos Gods will have their own version of this battle to play, and that you'll get to experience them even when playing as the daemons. Survival battles won't only be available to the human factions, either. Especially at the end when you're trying to hold three different control points and deal with a terrifying Exalted Greater Daemon, one of Khorne's most powerful servants, the sense of desperation is palpable. I found it really hectic and challenging the first couple times, and it made me think in ways Total War never has before. Winning a survival battle requires holding out against wave after wave of these bloodthirsty beasts, spending a slow trickle of resources on towers, barricades, and reinforcements.
The daemonic units also work much like undead in Warhammer and Warhammer 2: They don't suffer morale damage, but will start to dissipate once they've taken enough damage. Keeping them at safe distance seems like a smart play, though quick units like the winged Furies and daemon-mounted Skullcrushers can close the gap before you have much chance to respond. They cause quite a bit of a mess when they get into melee range. Skulls for the Skull Throne!On the other side, Khorne's armies are pretty much exactly what you'd expect. All the while, Katarina's lore of ice can strengthen your defenses or slow down your enemies to great effect. And last but definitely not least, their signature bear cavalry carves through the daemonic hordes so savagely that it brought a tear to my eye. They've got horse archers for general harassment. Winged Lancers are swift shock cav who might not be as tough as Bretonnian knights, but can inflict similar damage on the charge. Kislev also has a really strong cavalry component. It's a great feeling to have your back against the wall in a desperate defense and see your bloodied units somehow still hold the line, against all odds. This allows you, as Creative Assembly put it, to ask for greater sacrifices out of your soldiers than you would normally.
By Our Blood makes all of your core units fight harder once they've lost at least half of their numbers, in contrast to most other mortal factions. Their unique ability fits them perfectly, as well.
