Since Creative Assembly—the dev team behind Alien: Isolation—has officially qualified the trailer below as an “in-game cinematic”, it’s important to explain exactly what that entails, so that fans don’t get the wrong idea and go on to buy the game under false pretenses. Regarding the matter, the studio wrote:

Although it’s unlikely for most fans to have presumed that the above footage would have been indicative of the actual gameplay, from the perspective of Creative Assembly, it’s better safe than sorry. Nevertheless, the cinematic trailer is definitely impressive, and provides gamers with a decent idea of the kind of action that can be expected once the title releases.
Save for today’s trailer, it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Total War: Warhammer. The turn-based strategy game was initially shown to the public via a tease from Creative Assembly at the end of a 15-year-anniversary video for the Total War franchise near the beginning of this year, and was later featured in a cinematic reveal trailer back in April.
Taking the above video built around the Orc Warboss Grimgor Ironhide into account, as well as the developer’s outstanding Battle of Black Fire Pass gameplay trailer that hit the Web a few months ago, it seems as if Total War: Warhammer is certainly on the right track. Of course, with a series as popular and long-running as Total War, Creative Assembly is making sure to take its time crafting the game’s world in order to live up to fans’ expectations.
Total War: Warhammer is set to release on April 28, 2016 for Linux, Mac, and PC.
