Total War Warhammer 3 will let you design your own demonic leader
Sega and Creative Assembly have released a new trailer for Total War Warhammer 3, showing off a new playable leader, The Daemon Prince, check out the trailer below. The game itself is coming on February 17 and will launch into PC Game Pass.
It isn’t just the Daemon Prince, because when the game is released, it will introduce several epic Legendary Lords from the realms of Kislev and Grand Cathay to the four Chaos Gods, who rise from the fissures between worlds to wreak havoc and destruction! With each Legendary Lord, you can build your empire, lead incredible armies, wield powerful magic, and use a variety of weapons to thwart your enemies on the battlefield.
With eight dynamic Legendary Lords to choose from, the Warhammer III roster is brimming with options for all playstyles, but today, we reveal the ninth Legendary Lord… the Daemon Prince!
The Daemon Prince is an experience never seen in Total War! A nightmare made flesh, hellbent on vengeance, he leads the Daemons of Chaos into battle against foes both mortal and daemonic and wields power from all four of the Chaos Gods.
Bringing the Daemon Prince into Warhammer III gave the team at Creative Assembly an opportunity to use a distinct part of Warhammer lore in a striking new way. In the Warhammer Army Books, Daemon Princes are immortal champions of Chaos described as “varying enormously in appearance,” a phrase that inspired the team to design and implement a system where players could create and customize their own version of this character.
So now, for the first time in a Total War game, players can browse a vast suite of customization features and personalize their Daemon Prince by choosing from hundreds of appendages, heads, armour, weapons, wings, and tails. With tons of potential combinations at players’ fingertips, this is a truly unique Total War gameplay experience. But that’s not all! Players can tweak the Daemon Prince’s stats through customisable parts – for example, a tail might boost your physical defence while another could give extra magic attacks. Oh, and did we mention you can name him? Just make sure to choose something truly formidable and terrifying, something like… Steven the Daemon?
The game is out on February 17 for PC and can be bought on its own, or for anyone with a PC Game Pass membership, the game will be included within that.
