After its recent delay, Creative Assembly and SEGA have confirmed that the highly anticipated Total War: Warhammer III is now on track for a February 17, 2022 release. Which is when it will make its PC debut on Steam, Microsoft Store, and the Epic Games Store. And as a bonus bit of very cool news, it will be coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one.

"It's fantastic to finally put a release date on our epic third instalment," said Chief Product Officer, Rob Bartholomew. "And, in partnering with Xbox Game Pass, we're able to bring the ruinous powers of Chaos to as many players as possible. May all serve within their glorious embrace."

Fr fans of the series, no doubt this is high up there on their highly anticipated list. Creative Assembly is offering the Ogre Kingdoms Race Pack for those that pre-order or purchase the game within its first week on sale, which opens up the Ogre Kingdoms and their two Legendary Lords – Greasus Goldtooth & Skrag the Slaughterer. As seen in the following trailer.

In battle, these brutes excel at bombarding the enemy with long-range firepower before cascading upon their broken ranks with a devastating charge from their monstrous cavalry. Within the campaign they wage bloody war from their nomadic camps deep within the Mountains of Mourn, ever keen to take on bountiful contracts and add illustrious Big Names to their titles.

As fans of the original Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II you can be sure that we'll be all over this one... so stay tuned for more coverage in the lead-up to release.
