It's time to turn on the heat in Lustria, as today The Creative Assembly and SEGA released a brand new gameplay video of Total War: Warhammer II.

This time around, we see a battle between High Elves and Lizardmen seen from the point of view of the haughty pointy ears (which in Warhammer double down on the stereotype, since they get pointy hats as well).

The video switches between actual gameplay footage and replay video a lot, showing some of the best scenes in really spectacular cinematic action.

This comes with perfect timing, considering that I'm currently playing the grand campaign of Total War: Warhammer once more. I finally found the time to field my beloved Bretonnia, and I'm crushing everything in my path. That's what Bretonnia does. Incidentally, you can read my review of that one here.

The new game doesn't seem like a radical change, but it definitely looks lovely so far. If you consider that Games Workshop had to ruin the IP with that travesty named Age of Sigmar, the good folks at The Creative Assembly are basically the keepers of old dear Warhammer when it used to be great.

You can check out the video below, and if you want to see more  you can enjoy the first gameplay trailer,  the special editions, a video featuring the High Elf roster, a recent in-engine trailer, and the first look at the campaign map.

The game will come on September 28th, exclusively for PC.
