Sega’s Creative Assembly has provided an in-depth preview of its campaign map for the Total War: Warhammer strategy game coming next spring. It’s one more sign that Creative Assembly is putting a huge amount of work into the details as it merges the lore of Warhammer’s fantasy universe with the massive army-based gameplay of the Total War series.
Campaign maps are usually not that big a deal in video games, but in Total War titles, they’re half the fun. I got a preview of the campaign map’s details and a hands-on preview of a battle during a visit to Sega’s San Francisco office. Al Bickham, the communications manager for the Creative Assembly studio in the United Kingdom, walked me through a tour of the map. The world that he showed off is so beautiful it could really draw in new fans — particularly Total War players like me — into the Warhammer fantasy universe.
