Gameplay

Like its predecessors, Total War: Warhammer III features turn-based strategy and real-time tactics gameplay similar to other games in the Total War series.

In the campaign, players move armies around the map and manage settlements in a turn-based manner. Players engage in diplomacy with, and fight against, AI-controlled factions. When armies meet, they battle in real-time. The game will also have a custom battles mode where players can create customised real-time battles, as well as online multiplayer battles. Those who own races from the first two games will have the same races unlocked for multiplayer in the third game; a combined world map, similar to the "Mortal Empires" campaign in Total War: Warhammer II for owners of the first two games, will also be developed.[2]

The races announced with the game are the human civilizations of Kislev and Grand Cathay, based on medieval Russia and ancient China respectively,[3][4] and factions based on the four Chaos Gods (Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh). Another race, as yet unknown, will be made available to "early adopters" (those who pre-purchased the game before release).[1][2][5]

The main campaign's details remain unknown, but the developers have stated that it will take place within the Realm of Chaos, said to be the source of all magic in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.[1][6] Game director Ian Roxburgh has said the campaign map will be "twice the size" of the Eye of the Vortex campaign map that appeared in Total War: Warhammer II.[2]
