I will preorder but once I know what DLC race we get for warhammer 1.

Funny how CA is still hiding the fourth race and the race pack's race, even after giving release date.

It's unusual that the 4th race and the pre-order race aren't even revealed. I want to pre-order, but I won't even consider it until I know more information.

So, it is getting released when vacation is over and I have to start going to work again... great timing.

60 EURO? now I feel you're just pushing that II in the title... you have the engine established and are just adding content, this I feel does not justify the full price at this point.

To be fair we pay 17€ for each race pack.The game has 4 races and that would be 68€ for the races alone...but then you have a whole new map + campaign plus the mega campaign (and a preorder incentive is also included in that amount).

The 60€ price tag does not surprise me. Now the price of the special edition left me a little bit speechless. I have yet to check what the conversion to €s made by CA is but 99.99£ is steep. It's 39.99£ for the base game but 99.99£ for the special edition? More than double the amount?

Alrighty then.

The previous special edition was the same price in sterling.

New monsters in the race pack just further points to Norsca.

Or Skaven, let's go hope that they are not the new DLC Race, for the sake of all of their content, from the Tabletop. Skaven are known for being in both of the maps much more then Norsca.

Existing Warhammer 1 race rework. So not Skaven.

Also releasing a DLC that gets you one of the Major factions of Game 2 in game 1 before Game 2 releases doesn't seem that likely.

Could it be the beginning of a skaven invasion? Kind of like Chaos? If they release it for the first game, then those who dont buy the second will still have access to a new invasion. Then when they implement the massive campaign map, they will already have the framework in place of a skaven invasion and chaos. I don't know the lore, so if this doesnt make any sense I plead ignorance.

Skaven capital is in Game 1, but look at it from a more simplistic point of view, its making game 2 look like less of a day one purchase as there's a cheaper way to get one of its 4 major races that arrives early.

Maybe so, but CA sure was talking a lot about how the Race Pack would affect both parts owners.

May just be that its in the combined campaign.

That was the new FLC, not the new Race Pack.

It's not Skaven, they say a reworked race. It's norsca guys xP

Okey, if it's not Skaven, then it's seems to be Norsca, as there are many hints pointing for that.

Didn't remember that but then again probably just looked at the price in euros.

Still the difference from the regular edition to the special edition is what seemed strange to me. This would lead to 115€ or something along those lines. Steep, regardless if the first one was already in this region.

Edit: Then again....39.99£ is not the 59.99€ the game costs me on steam. Just looked, the special edition costs 119.99€ so the conversion is almost good on the special but not on the regular game. Just to note I'm not exactly complaining, just surprised.

"WARHAMMER II early adopters will be receiving a new Race Pack DLC for WARHAMMER I for free!"

Ah, I see what you did there CA. Yep way better than cutting out a race from the base game and selling it extra.

*starves to death following the carrot on a stick* X.X

They're really being stingy on the info I hope this doesn't mean a push back of the release date.

IzzyStradlin#2842

This pleases me.

The release date is my birthday, free game for me yay! [worth a try?]

Totally predicted late September release date!!! Very close to the time Rome 2 released.
