The Creative Assembly ha rilasciato ufficialmente il primo Pacchetto Campagna gratuito per Total War: Warhammer. Il pacchetto di Story Campaign risponde al nome di “Il Richiamo degli Uominibestia“, e introduce una modalità storia completamente nuova.

 

Insieme al pacchetto campagna, gli sviluppatori hanno rilasciato un aggiornamento gratuito che risolve diversi problemi riportati dagli utenti per il titolo. Di seguito il comunicato stampa ufficiale, con in allegato le note della patch:

Total War: WARHAMMER – Il Richiamo degli Uominibestiadisponibile il primo Pacchetto Campagna gratuito
 

Il Richiamo degli Uominibestia, il primo Pacchetto Campagna per Total War: WARHAMMER, introduce gli Uominibestia come una nuova razza giocabile ed un’ulteriore espansione del gioco con una Story Campaign totalmente nuova, Occhio per Occhio. Un’orda vagante, brutale e corrotta, che avanza come un’epidemia nel Vecchio Mondo con la magia del Lore of the Wild per scomparire nella densa foresta.

La Grande Campagna degli Uominibestia può essere condotta da uno dei due Lord Leggendari delle Warhammer Fantasy Battles – Khazrak The One Eye o Malagor The Dark Omen, ognuno con le proprie abilità, catene di quest, item leggendari e nuove posizioni di partenza nella Grande Campagna.
In battaglia, guidano aberranti orde di creature metà uomo come Centigor, Minotauri ed il colossale Cygor, offrendo uno stile di gioco unico e straordinariamente incisivo.

 

Insieme al Pacchetto Campagna Il Richiamo degli Uominibestia, un altro aggiornamento di contenuto free introdurrà gli Amber Wizard per tutti i giocatori, indipendentemente dall’acquisto. Brandendo il Lore of Beasts, l’ Amber Wizard può evocare delle Manticore selvatiche nel bel mezzo della battaglia.

 

Il Richiamo degli Uominibestiaè disponibile per Total War WARHAMMER su Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/404012/

Total War: WARHAMMER – Update 2

 

Update 2 is designed to add further polish and tweaks, fixes some notable gameplay issues and brings our second pass at unit rebalancing. Some notable changes include UI scaling for high-resolution displays, performance enhancements and visual improvements for NVIDIA users, and the introduction of the new Siege Attacker trait, enabling armies with Siege Attacker units to immediately initiate sieges without building dedicated siege equipment.
A huge level of customisation is now available in Custom and Multiplayer battles. When building your army you can now choose individual spells, items and abilities for your characters. These additions will increase their cost, but provide a level of granularity, individuality, and can skew their battlefield role to suit your playstyle.

 

New Content

A host of new free content is made available via this update, including the Empire Amber Wizard hero, The Lore of Beasts, The Beastmen as new and terrifying AI-opponent in the Grand Campaign, and four new Custom and Multiplayer battle maps. Sarthorael The Everchosen, the Chaos Lord of Change, is also now available to use as a Legendary Lord in custom and multiplayer battles. Full details on this content can be found in our Free Content Update Blog.
