The announcements of both the release date and Day One Game Pass access were made in a blog post on the official SEGA website. The official website says that players will be venturing into the Realm of Chaos, and that Kislev and Cathay will stand against Chaos.SEGA has announced the official release date for their highly-anticipated RTS game Total War: Warhammer III as well as confirmed that the title will be arriving on Game Pass on PC on Day One. Some media previews mention several races taking advantage of the power of a "dying god" while others mention an "ancient figure" seeking "power." After this point, players who don't already own the race will have to buy this race separately. In addition, there will be another race (as yet unannounced) playable, which will be free for players who either 1) preorder the game, or 2) buy the game within the first week after release. There will be 9 playable legendary lords (special named characters who lead factions). CA partnered with Games Workshop to turn Cathay into a fully fleshed out race, with complete lore, units etc.

It was originally announced for release in 2021, but has been delayed until early 2022.

It was officially announced on 3 February 2021, via a cinematic trailer. Total War: Warhammer III is the upcoming third title in the Total War: Warhammer series of videogames by UK developer Creative Assembly.
