Creative Assembly have dropped a new trailer for Total War: Warhammer III, and it’s pretty epic stuff. This is a cinematic trailer, but it’s running in-engine, hinting at the impressive level of visual fidelity CA is aiming for with the game. As for what’s actually happening in the trailer, I won’t pretend to understand 100 percent of what’s going on, but we see the Russian-inspired Kislev faction doing battle with followers of the Blood God, Khorne. This battles culminates in a showdown between a giant ice bear and a demon, so yeah, this ain’t your daddy’s Total War. Check out the trailer for yourself, below.
