Creative Assembly show off online play for Total War: WARHAMMER III

Total War: WARHAMMER III is due for release on February 17, with a Linux port from Feral Interactive due sometime soon after and we now have the first footage of online play.

CA say that WARHAMMER III is “bigger than ever” with more game modes and players available than previous entries in the series. For up to 8 players you can play through these campaigns:

• Realm of Chaos (8 Players): Warhammer 3’s standard campaign, where up to eight players can join forces or battle for surpremacy.
• Darkness & Disharmony (8 Players): Play to bring about Grand Cathay’s salvation…or its destruction.
• Something Rotten in Kiselv (3 Players): A smaller adventure with higher stakes for each player!

Take a look below:

As a reminder: if you do pre-order (or buy in the first week after release) you will get access to an additional free Race Pack for Total War: WARHAMMER III with the Ogre Kingdoms.

Feral Interactive who are doing the Linux port have so far ignored our emails asking for information on cross-platform multiplayer in their version, so we fully expect it to not have online play with the Window build.

You can pre-order from Humble Store and Steam.
