Total War: Warhammer dated for April, Chaos Warriors Race Pack is a pre-order incentive
Total War: Warhammer has a release date, and along with when you can start playing, The Creative Assembly also announced special editions for the game and the Chaos Warriors Race Pack as a pre-order bonus.
The Chaos Warriors Race Pack pre-order bonus is the first DLC for the title. It will be made available for free alongside the game on release day - if you pre-order.
It comes with three new playable Legendary Lords, enabling players to select the Chaos Warriors as their race in the Grand Campaign.
This Race Pack also brings with it a new, narrative-driven quest chain for each Legendary Lord, and an armory of cursed magic items.
No word on whether or not the DLC will be made available for purchase, but we expect it at some point. For now, you'll have to pre-order the game in order to get the Chaos race pack.
The standard edition of the game is available for pre-order through Steam and other retailers via the Total War website.
Other editions include:
High King Edition - Limited Run (£99.99)
