> Total War: Warhammer 3 (Feb 17, 2022): the trilogy finale mixing turn-based strategy and real-time tactics — Realm of Chaos, Kislev, Grand Cathay, the four Chaos Gods. 5 min read.
[Total War: Warhammer 3](https://after-strategy.com/en/jeux/total-war-warhammer-3/) was released on February 17, 2022 and takes place in the fictional Warhammer universe. It follows [Total War: Warhammer](https://after-strategy.com/en/total-war-warhammer/) released in 2016 and [Total War: Warhammer II](https://after-strategy.com/en/total-war-warhammer-2/) released in 2017. In this game, turn-based strategy is mixed with real-time tactics. It was developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega.
## Warhammer, What's That?
> Many peoples share the territories of the Warhammer world. Most of them are humans from the Old World, Araby, Norsca, Nippon and Cathay.
>
> There are also many other non-human races: some are biologically close to humans, like vampires, halflings (hobbits) and ogres, or physically like elves and dwarfs. Other races are completely apart, like the green-skinned races (orcs and goblins), the skaven, the lizardmen, trolls and other monstrous creatures.

As in most Total War games, you control cities and provinces. You can develop their economies and their economic or military buildings. Indeed, through these choices you will be able to focus either on increasing your treasury or on recruiting well-equipped and well-trained soldiers. **The difference here? Magic, monsters and creatures of all kinds!**
### The Developers' Synopsis:
> The world is on the brink of chaos.
>
> The last roar of a dying god tears the border between worlds, opening a portal to the Realm of Chaos. The four Ruin Powers — Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh — emerge from this maelstrom, spreading darkness and despair.
>
> The fierce warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay are on the front line, threatened by a Daemon Prince seeking revenge and destruction against those who corrupted him. All will be caught up in the coming conflict. Will you manage to triumph over your daemons... or command them?
