'Total War: Warhammer – Call of the Beastmen' release date, gameplay news: Trailer video out; gameplay footage available
A new trailer for the "Total War: Warhammer" DLC "Call of the Beastmen" has been released, and there is also gameplay footage that showcases just what these new beastmen can do.
According to Crossmap, the DLC will give players access to an all-new type of infantry which consists of 3 types of Minotaurs. There will be tiers 3, 4, and 5 for the bull-headed beasts, and they will be able to fight alongside Chaos Giants and loads more of different creatures.
The DLC also gives players access to Bray-Shamen of the Beastmen, and he will have an array of different spells and enchantments to fight against the enemy horde. The spellcasting elements will be based on both the Lore of the Wild and the Lore of the Beasts.
In the trailer, the Beastmen launch an attack against the Empire, and the Empire will have to find a way to stop the horde of beastmen from destroying their base.
Some gameplay revealed for the game shows the different sizes that the minotaurs can take. Players can summon a gigantic minotaur from the ground and have it hurl a rock at enemy forces that are from a great distance. Another gampelay element that the beastmen have is that the troops are low on morale, so it's very necessary to keep the commanders near the troops in order to keep leadership value high.
There is also a bunch of free DLC coming out for "Total War: Warhammer," including a new hero, a new opposing race, and new multiplayer options. The update also provides gamers with an unlockable lord for MP/Custom battles.
The "Total War: Warhammer - Call of the Beastmen" DLC will be available for download starting Thursday, July 28.
