Warhammer II is set to release wide swathes of new land to accommodate the many factions that will be added. Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth, and the Southlands will be the new continents added in Warhammer II. The Old World, shown at the northern portion of the center of the map, is the only area to be presented to players.

The Skaven capital of Skavenblight is visible on the surface near Tilea, but this would leave them far away from the other factions in the expansion. Its currently not known where the Skaven will be placed on the map, as they have no lasting territory on the surface of the Warhammer world. The fourth faction remains a mystery, though there is heavy evidence to support that it will be the Skaven, the insidious rat men who rule from a sprawling underground empire. Meanwhile, the Dark Elves of Naggaroth continue to wage their ancestral war against the High Elves of Ulthuan. In the temperate jungles of Lustria, the cold-blooded Lizardmen march from their massive Temple-Cities. So far only three of the game’s four base factions have been confirmed. While unconfirmed, the latest trailer of the Warhammer II leaves little doubt that they’ll be the fourth faction. Skaven Warriors marching through the sewers of the Old World.

The game will also release a lot of new content, further expanding an already massive strategy game. The new continents added in Warhammer II will give players access to a standalone map, but when combined with the map from the base game it will double the amount of territory that they can fight for.

Creative Assembly had always planned to release a trilogy of Warhammer titles, and they have been very clear from the beginning that the three maps will combine into one massive game. Many people expressed excitement to play the new factions and to explore new sections of the Warhammer world, others felt that the release of a new fantasy related title was a betrayal of the developer’s tradition of creating strictly historical games. The announcement and trailer release for Total War Warhammer 2 sparked a massive fan response, as well as provoking some criticism directed towards Creative Assembly.

What made this announcement unique was the news that these sequels would have their own standalone campaigns, but would also click together into one massive campaign that would feature all the content released across all three games. Since before its release, Creative Assembly has stated that its hit fantasy/strategy game Total War Warhammer would be receiving 2 immediate sequels.
