Bad news for the followers of both Total War strategy games saga and Warhammer Fantasy Battles tabletop game. All of you that were eager to get your hands on the upcoming title from The Creative Assembly will have to wait a bit longer than expected to do so because publisher SEGA has officially announced a delay on the release date for Total War: Warhammer. It was previously set for launch on April 28 but the new release date is May 24. The reasons for this delay have been explained by Mike Simpson, Total War creative director: "This could be the best Total War game we've ever made. We don't want to rush it." "It's an enormous game and we also want to make absolutely sure reviewers have enough time to play it thoroughly before launch. Many thanks to the huge number of people who have pre-ordered and are eagerly awaiting release day. We’re pulling out all the stops for you," added Simpson.
