14 DAY TRIAL // Since the pre-order information for Total War: Warhammer was first announced, the developers at The Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA have been offering the Chaos warriors race pack, which adds a new faction for gamers to control on the campaign map. It's worth mentioning it is available for those who are willing to pay for the strategy title early.
Now the two companies are revealing that they are extending the offer to all those who pick up the title during its first week on the market, until 18 Greenwich Mean time on May 31.
The Creative Assembly states, "If you’ve already pre-ordered then, of course, you still get the bonus, but by extending the free period deadline by a week past launch, we can make sure more people who don’t feel like pre-ordering don’t miss out while at the same time we still get to reward early adopters, whose support is so valuable to us."
The Chaos Warriors have been kept under wraps until now. However, a new video shows the race in full action, with the Let's Play giving gamers a look at one of their Legendary Lords, the powerful Kholek Suneater, a Dragon Ogre who appears on the battlefield using a hammer that's the size of a building and covered in lightning.
Total War: Warhammer will deliver a wide range of DLC after launch
The Creative Assembly will also probably offer the Chaos warrior pack as a standalone purchase at a later date, giving any fan who wants more content a chance to pick it up.
The studio has also announced that it has extensive support plans for Total War: Warhammer and wants to expand the kinds of choices that gamers can make via downloadable content packs.
Those who love free additions will get the normal updates that will improve the game balance and eliminate bugs while also receiving access to more units, extra Legendary Lords, and even entire new factions.
The Creative Assembly also wants to deliver the same kind of content in paid downloadable content for Total War: Warhammer, using a system that has worked well for recent releases like Attila and Rome.
The strategy game that will use the Games Workshop universe is the first of a trilogy, and to make it as authentic as possible, the developers have modified some of the main systems of their series, including the way provinces can be occupied and used and the way siege battles work.
Total War: Warhammer will be launched on the PC and will be available starting May 24.
