Sega’s The Creative Assembly recently began showing off the gameplay for real-time strategy game Total War: Warhammer II, which will have a massive campaign across four continents. We’ve got some video of one of the first battles that the developers are showing.

The game is a sequel to last year’s Total War: Warhammer, which debuted in May 2016 and it became the most popular game ever in the 17-year-old Total War series. (Market intelligence site SteamSpy said it has 1.5 million players). Warhammer II will introduce four new continents, separated by an ocean with dynamic storms that could take out an entire fleet. The game will debut on the PC sometime this year.
