No, we are not talking about a conspiracy…

SEGA and Creative Assembly have created a cinematic, roughly 2.5-minute long trailer made with the game’s engine, and it introduces the Lizardmen. Have some lore from the press release: „It is time to march on the Fallen Gates. The Elf servants have blasphemed not just by leaving Ulthuan, but by daring to interfere with the Cosmic Gates – an ancient device that can open a portal into the Realm of Chaos. For such a heinous transgressions, the Elves must be punished as decreed by Mazdamundi, the Lord of the Solar City. Roaring out of the dense jungles of Lustria, these ancient, cold-blooded warriors are the servants of the Old Ones, enactors of the Great Plan and the true protectors of the world.

Along with the High Elves, Dark Elves, and one race yet to be announced, the Lizardmen are one of the four playable races in Total War: WARHAMMER II. […] Brought low in millennia past by the daemonic incursions of The Great Cataclysm, their grand civilization now lies in ruin. But a handful of Slann Mage priests still live, and with them hope – that their people may rise anew. Tireless in their quest to restore order to the world, the Lizardmen field a glittering diversity of scaled warriors, from the humble, nimble Skink, to the titanic Carnasaur: apex-predator of the Lustrian jungles.”

The game should be out by the end of 2017 on PC, and if you own the first game, you can connect the two together to get a large playable area! What a way to make the strategy fans spend a bit more money than they normally would.
