The game was released for Microsoft Windows-based PCs on 28 September 2017. The game is set in Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy fictional universe.

It is part of the Total War series and the sequel to 2016's Total War: Warhammer. However, you’ll only need Total Warhammer 2 installed.Total War: Warhammer II is a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. You’ll need to own both games to play it. Total War: Warhammer 2 - Mortal Empires will be available to play from October 26th. We want them to spend it re-enacting the War of the Beard for shits and giggles, and still realising they’ve still only seen a third of the map.” We don’t want an Elf player spending half the game just fighting other elves.

“I’d add that Warhammer’s all about big characters, big wars, big events and epic culture clashes. “It’d be easy to get sidetracked worrying about geographical reduction, but in fact, there’s double the region count over Warhammer 1,” explained game director Ian Roxburgh. A Mortal Empires campaign is estimated to take in excess of 50 hours.

In total the landmass will feature double the region count of Warhammer 1, although some areas have been snipped or reshaped in order to improve game flow. In order to make all of this possible and to still provide an interesting, fast-moving campaign, Creative Assembly has had to make a few tweaks to the existing maps. It also means all of the exclusive goodies added to the sequel will be playable on theo original landmass, including storms at sea, treasure hunting, choke point battle maps, universal territory capture, rogue armies and the updated UI. It’s a whole lot of Warhammer Fantasy basically, and it should lend itself well to some epic battles. Mortal Empires will include 117 starting factions, 295 settlements, 268 battle maps, 352 unit types, 35 Legendary Lords, and 96 different magical spells. Mortal Empires will only be available for players who own both Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II, bridging the Old World and the New World to create one giant campaign map.

Creative Assembly has announced the Mortal Empires campaign for Total War: Warhammer 2 will be available from next Thursday, October 26th.
