Creeping Jeepers, we know that the Immortal Empire map for Total War: Warhammer 3 (opens in new tab) was going to be absolutely massive: but actually watching it is something else entirely. In a new video posted to YouTube (opens in new tab), the gravel-voiced narrator of the Total War series narrates a 13-minute flyover of Warhammer Fantasy World.
This is clearly a map of astounding scale for a strategy game of this scope, complexity and visual quality. It’s the kind of thing you’d never expect to work, or assume it might never exist. I know it’s releasing in beta, but Immortal Empires is the fulfillment of a game design dream that the developers at Creative Assembly have been working on for over six years. The trailer shows it face to face as it rolls through character and soundtrack themes from three full games and dozens of prior DLCs.
Either way, the video swoops from place to place in the vast old world of Warhammer fantasy and beyond. This daemonic displays in the southern and northern wastelands, southland, eastern wastelands, Grand Cathay, Norska, Albion, Dark Elven Ngagroth, Ulthuan, the lizard domain Lustria, the wider southern desert, the Badlands, and Brettonia and the Kingdom to the north. In the official description, in case you somehow missed it in the flyover, the Creative Assembly makes it clear that this map has “86 Legendary Lords. 23 Races. 533 Territories. There are 278 starting factions.”
Last month, we took a look at the map as a whole, but now only Creative Assembly has shown off the map’s flyover in-game. Here’s what you see in the video from above:
