No worries, visit the Test Track in the LS Car Meet to give the Weeny Issi Sport a test drive, or you can give the Truffade Nero and Dewbauchee Specter a try, if you feel like compensating for something else entirely.

This Week on the Podium: The Ocelot Penetrator

Xbox celebrates launch of Total War: WARHAMMER III on PC with epic metal music video

XBOX ANZ AND BATTLESNAKE GEAR UP FOR REVEAL OF DEBUT MUSIC VIDEO

18 February, Australia – To celebrate the release of Total War™: WARHAMMER® III on Game Pass for PC, Xbox ANZ has debuted an official music video for the title track, “Death Is Like The Winter Chill.” The music video, directed by award-winning cinematographer Anthony Rose, follows Sydney metal band, Battlesnake as they immerse themselves in the fantasy of the award-winning Total War™: WARHAMMER® trilogy.

Filmed at Oxford Art Factory, the music video pays tribute to the high-fantasy and heavy metal aesthetic that makes the world of Warhammer Fantasy so unique. As fans of the franchise themselves, Battlesnake have created their own unique spin on the game’s bombastic atmosphere in their celebratory cover of “Death is Like the Winter Chill.” On the collaboration, Elliott Hitchcock from Battlesnake said: “Battlesnake was forged deep in the fiery pits of the underworld, so we share a mutual respect with those who wage battle in the Realm of Chaos.”


“When we’re not shredding onstage, we’re normally wielding swords, so any game with swords is a game worth celebrating. We’re hyped to pay tribute to the legendary Warhammer  community and hope that our celebration brings some new Warhammer metal-heads to our shows in future to watch us get sweaty”, Elliot continued.Total War: WARHAMMER III is a strategy game of god-like proportions, combining an epic turn-based narrative campaign and intense, tactical, real-time battles. Plunged into a cataclysmic power struggle between mortals and daemons, players will fight to save or exploit the power of a dying god within the Realm of Chaos campaign. Alongside this, groundbreaking new features are available including a narrative-drive Prologue tutorial campaign, eight-player multiplayer, and the customisable RPG-like Daemon Prince Legendary Lord.

“Total War: WARHAMMER III is the most ambitious game we’ve created to date so it’s only fitting we launched the game, available day one on Xbox PC Game Pass, in all of its head-banging glory”, said Chief Product Officer, Rob Bartholomew. “We are immensely proud of the final instalment of the Total War trilogy and in true metal fashion, we’re ending on a high note. We can’t wait for players to dive into the campaign, build their forces, secure their empire and conquer the world!”

Total War: WARHAMMER III will be free to download and play via PC Game Pass on day one. Players will be able to embark on strategic campaigns across the mortal lands and beyond.

Players will escape to an illustrated world presented in the medium of cards with the Voice of Cards series’ second release, brought to life once again by the creative team behind the beloved NieR® and Drakengard® series, including Creative Director, YOKO TARO (Drakengard series, NieR series), Music Director, Keiichi Okabe (Drakengard 3, NieR series) and Character Designer, Kimihiko Fujisaka (Drakengard series). Set on a remote chain of islands that have been protected by the maidens for generations, this brand-new adventure will have players follow the protagonist and Laty, a girl who failed to become a maiden, in a touching stand-alone tale to save the people of the island as they face the threat of destruction.
