Total War: Warhammer 3 fans reckon they've already guessed which faction is coming next in Tides Of Torment

Not penguin beastman, sadly

Last week's Warhammer Skulls brought announcements for a caller Mechanicus 2 state faction, a strategy remaster successful the signifier of the archetypal Dawn Of War and each expansions, and a escaped Boltgun typing crippled successful which you pat retired phrases similar 'emperor' and 'thin your paints' to chainsword cultists. Nestled distant successful the recesses of that skull, similar a coiled snake connected a tattoo with the sanction of someone's pug connected it, was a teaser for the adjacent Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC. Here's that teaser.

The hooded zap lad is Sayl the Faithless, a Norscan sorcerer celebrated for interrupting rituals and turning the attendant spellcasters into chaos spawn. It was reasonably flimsy and esoteric arsenic acold arsenic trailers go, but Creative Assembly followed it up with 1 of those casual sofa talks afloat of highly curated accusation and soundbites astir however unbeatable their benefits bundle and workplace restitution is.

There was immoderate bully worldly successful there, successful presumption of detail. We already knew astir Slaanesh's quality successful the DLC, and present it's double-confirmed Norsca volition beryllium joining. Sayl's run is focused connected manipulation, there'll beryllium much monster hunts for Throgg and Seafang raiding from Wulfric, and some are getting caller voicelines.

Not mentioned was the DLC's 3rd faction but, arsenic chronicled successful a swathe of Reddit posts and contented creator videos, the assemblage seems much oregon little definite connected what that faction is: the precocious elves, specifically elf naval commandant Aislinn. He likes tides, 'tides' is successful the name, the missing High Elf units from the crippled see naval-themed centerpieces similar the Merwyrm and the Skycutter, there's thematic connections determination with Slaanesh, radical similar elves, and truthful on. Norsca similar to raid connected boats, Slaanesh likes to lick boats (canon), elves similar to thrust boats. It each lines up. I besides get the content Creative Assembly similar including astatine slightest 1 bully feline oregon neutral faction successful these packs too, conscionable for balance. Things get a spot monochrome and grim if it's each chaos, each the time.

There was different notable successful that video, too: each the developers interviewed were from CA Sofia, the sister workplace antecedently liable for games similar Pharaoh and Troy, who look mostly to person been moved connected to Twarhammer DLC work since the large shingle ups astatine CA past twelvemonth pursuing the cancellation of Hyenas. This could mean that there's aggregate expansions successful the works, requiring the attraction of manager Rich Aldridge and the UK team. Or, it could mean that Alridge and his squad are already engaged connected other, much power-armoured Games Workshop adaptations.
