The game had one of the smoothest launches in Total War's history, and thanks to finally stepping into the modern era with a 64-bit engine it runs smoothly in ways Total War: Rome 2 and Total War: Attila never could. With such damage control, and the fact this was probably the last chance to have Warhammer Fantasy Battle back, if at least as a video game, sales grew up to the point they snowballed into the then fast-selling Total War game ever, allowing for more and more DLCs and ensuring a second and eventually third iteration.

Due to the pressure from fans Creative Assembly chose to make the Warriors of Chaos faction free for all who purchased the game during the first week after launch and DLC for anyone who got the game later than that. The controversy got so bad that the reveal trailer had over 50,000 dislikes and some fans have gone so far as to dislike every video following the Chaos reveal trailer that was posted on the Total War channel.

Predictably enough, many responded negatively to this reveal, citing that Creative Assembly were deliberately 'taking the fifth faction hostage' in order to force customers to pre-order. They also revealed a Collector's Edition, with some fancy Dwarfish items, and pre-ordering would give access to the Chaos Warriors faction. Then on October 22nd, 2015 Sega announced the release of the game to be on the 28th of April in 2016 (later pushed back to May because they wanted to get the launch relatively bug-free). The original reveal trailer, first shown on April 22nd, 2015 received overwhelmingly positive receptions, with each race considered to be well designed, aligned to the canon and having legendary lords which meant many relevant named characters would be in the game. The grand vision for the three games is for them to eventually merge together to include all of the (relevant) parts of the Warhammer map and eventually all the major races in it (8th edition) and potentially some minor ones, in a combined campaign dubbed вЂњMortal Empires.вЂќ Even just two games in, itвЂ™s already a gigantic clusterfuck when you count all the various sub-factions and non-playable factions that have been added thus far (if you donвЂ™t use the end-of-turn fast forward button, it can take a long time to cycle through every factionвЂ™s movements, although things have improved since the Potion of Speed update). The first game focused on the Old World, the second on the New World, and the third will be presumably in the Dark Lands. Known to tg as 'Total Warhammer', 'Total Waaagh!!' or some other similar derivative. The games themselves are being developed parallel to the historical games that Creative Assembly is best known for. A trilogy of RTS games being worked on by the developer Creative Assembly, best known for the Total War franchise - which consists of pre-industrial age era Real Time Tactics battles with a somewhat simplified 4X/Grand Strategy overworld.
