If you just can't get enough of Total War: Warhammer - and heaven knows, we sure can't - then we have good news: soon you'll be able to play your favourite fantasy strategy game franchise right on your phone. Total War Battles: Warhammer is a mobile version of Total War: Warhammer's massive RTS battles, and it'll be opening up to beta testers in the near future.
Developer NetEase (which is also developing Blizzard's Diablo Immortal for mobile) announced Total War Battles: Warhammer today with a YouTube video that shows off some gameplay. A few well-known legendary lords make appearances: here's the White Dwarf Grombrindal, there's the Empire's Balthasar Gelt. There's a little footage of a strategic layer, which features a reworked city and settlement system on a more stylized map, likely to make the game more readable on small mobile screens.
The focus, however, is clearly on the large-scale RTS battles. The footage is marked as 'early alpha' and not indicative of the final product, so take what you're about to see with a grain of salt. That said, it does look mighty impressive - monstrous ogres, charging cavalry, and deadly siege weapons all feature in the battlefield footage.
