The subsequent growth to Total War: Warhammer 2 is to set our spines and timbers shivering alike, as it should add the undead pirates of the Vampire Coast. Creative Assembly at this time introduced Curse Of The Vampire Coast, because of launch on November eighth. It’ll add the damned pirates of that cursed coast, who’re all preventing to achieve management of a large horrible sea monster. I’m . Apparently their quests embrace discovering pirate treasure and studying a magical shanty. I’m very . And certainly one of their models is… some form of mech constructed from shipwrecks and piloted by a ball of drowned corpses? Oh I’m IN.
Yo ho chuffing ho.
This motley crew of vampires, zombies, shipmecha, mutants, and big enemy crabs are preventing to change into probably the most notorious pirate, to not point out acquire management of the merwyrm Amanar. To tame the beastie, gamers might want to nab a Star-Metal harpoon and cost it with three verses of a magical sea shanty. Rival pirate captains know the verses, so that you’ll have to problem and crush them to be taught it. And alongside the way in which they’ll improve their ships, set up secret Pirate Coves leeching earnings from defeated settlements, discover treasure maps and clear up riddles for severe booty, unlocking Regiments of Renown by discovering and seizing golden tokens… they sound a proper snicker.
It’s robust to make a faction’s play match their theming, however these do sound an fascinating pirate-y bunch. The growth’s Steam page goes into masses extra element on how they work.
But no, this growth is not going to add naval battles. As an FAQ explains, when armies meet at see and select to battle, models will disembark to battle on island maps. This is remarkably just like the thought of a mod launched final week, a coincidence which Creative Assembly say left them “somewhat surprised (and more than a little impressed)”. Dark Elf Black Arks will help sea battles in the same manner, however preventing on the floor of the Ark itself.
As you’d anticipate, in addition to the Eye Of The Vortex marketing campaign, the zombirates will even be playable in Mortal Empires, the mega-big map which mixes each Twarhammers. And in the event you don’t purchase the growth, they nonetheless may seem in your games as enemies.
Curse Of The Vampire Coast is coming to Steam on November eighth, priced at £13.99/€17.49/18.99.
