Blood for the Blood God! Warhammer is a great name for a heavy metal band and the latest DLC for Total War: Warhammer is probably the name of their album – Blood and Gore. Of course, like with most gaming news these days, this piece of DLC was leaked.
The trailer is pretty gory, so if you are a bit squeamish you probably shouldn’t watch it. A narrator speaks throughout the video explaining his reasoning behind the killing the his faction partake, like a true metal band does. ”Beyond the world, he waits atop a throne of skulls.” says the narrator. ”All blood is only borrowed. Once shed, it must return. Blood for the Blood God.”
Creative Assembly have provided us with further details for the DLC and future patch. This information pasted below has been taken directly from the press release:
”The Old World is riven by countless battles fought. Now experience the carnage in technicolour glory with the arrival of the Blood for the Blood God DLC! All-new events, particle effects, dismemberments, and gory, gib-spattered deaths will serve to bring your gameplay to untold heights of gruesomeness.
Cower as giants chew the heads off hapless soldiers, trolls rip their foes limb from lifeless limb, and the scything tails of dragons tear through units in an explosion of blood and guts. Brand new campaign events serve to encourage slaughter across the world, all to the laughter and delight of The Blood God. Dedicate your wars to him, and bathe the world in crimson!
Alongside the Blood for the Blood God DLC, Creative Assembly will also be releasing the first patch for Total War: WARHAMMER. This update brings significant unit rebalancing, numerous technical and gameplay improvements to the game. Also included in the patch are the new Vampire Counts’ cavalry unit: Blood Knights, free for all players.”
GameWatcher’s very own Dustin Bailey highly enjoyed Total War: Warhammer, awarding the game an excellent 8.5 out of 10. Here’s what he had to say about the game: “Despite performance quibbles and a repetitive endgame for the campaign, Total War: Warhammer is an exciting strategy game that stands on its own. The four factions offer unique playstyles with compelling strategic options, and the hero units, fantastic creatures, and monstrous enemies make for spectacular battles that are almost as much fun to watch as they are to command.”
We have no idea when Blood and Gore releases, but we’ll keep you up to date as soon as we find out any information.
