Total War Warhammer 3 release date, UK launch time & latest news
The game is finally here!
The Total War: Warhammer 3 release date is finally upon us, and you can get to playing what is set to be an epic game - as long as your system meets the Total War: Warhammer 3 PC requirements, of course!
Game director Ian Roxburgh added some last-minute hype to the proceedings on Twitter, saying, "This has been the project of a lifetime at a moment when we've all needed an incredible fantasy world in which to lose ourselves."
- Pre-order Total War Warhammer 3 from Fanatical (21 per cent off, now just £34.49)
"This game is for you," Roxburgh added in closing, addressing the fans directly, "and we thank you for your continued support. See you on the battlefield."
Well, now we can head to that battlefield ourselves, so read on for the essential Total War Warhammer 3 release details.
Total War Warhammer 3 release date
The Total War: Warhammer 3 release date took place on Thursday 17th February 2022 and the game was available here in the UK from 8am.
Is Total War Warhammer 3 on Game Pass?
Total War: Warhammer 3 is indeed on Game Pass, but not for console owners. Being a PC-only game means that it is only available on Xbox Game Pass for PC. Could this change in the future? Possibly. Microsoft Flight Simulator has come to console now so it is not out of the question - but don't count on it.
Total War Warhammer review round-up
Now the game is out, how well-received has it been by critics in the reviews? Well, it's largely positive with the Total War: Warhammer 3 Metacritic score sitting at a solid 88 at the time of writing.
There is a perfect score out there with NME giving it 5/5 while the rest from the likes of IGN, PC Gamer, and many more are giving it an extremely favourable 9/10 (or the scoring equivalent).
It would be fair to say then that Total War Warhammer 3 is a critical hit!
Total War Warhammer 3 gameplay
Grab yourself some snacks, get comfy and hit play on the video below where you will see almost 30 minutes of Total War: Warhammer 3 gameplay to show you ware in for if you pick the game up.
As for what else we know, mod support is included in the game, cross-store multiplayer support was included at launch, and the campaign map is around double the size of the one that was featured in the last game - which is quite the jump!
