Sega and developer Creative Assembly have announced the fourth and final playable race in Total War: Warhammer.

Alongside the Dwarfs, Greenskins, and Humans, the evil Vampire Counts will have their own playable faction. Featured above, you can view the reveal trailer for the new reveal.

The Vampire Counts are commanded over by Mannfred von Carstein, with the entire faction wielding the likes of necromancy, death magic, and even zombie dragon mounts.

Here’s a brief synopsis for the faction:

Far from home, an Empire Witch Hunter seeking the source of this corruption will soon find that there are fates in the Old World far worse than death. The Vampire Counts have arisen, and today in this brand new in-engine trailer, they are unleashed.

All tremble before the Midnight Aristocracy! Led by Mannfred von Carstein, chief acolyte of necromantic magic and the Vampire Counts’ most cunning son, battalions of age-dead soldiers march forth to claim the Old World in the name of the undead. Moldering legions of Grave Guard, Skeletons, colossal aberrations and bat-winged beasts lay siege to gigantic Dwarfen citadels whilst Mannfred himself prowls the skies on his ferocious Zombie Dragon.

The Vampire Counts are masters of Death magic and necromancy and those that stand and fall before their might will not remain fallen for long.
Vampire Counts join the Greenskins, Dwarfs and Empire as the fourth playable race in Total War: WARHAMMER.

Total War: Warhammer is launching on May 24th across PC, Mac, and Linux.

(Editor’s Note: The Chaos are actually a fifth playable race, however they’re a day-one pre-order DLC exclusive, we keep forgetting to make a note of this, apologies)
