Total War devs Creative Assembly would like you to meet Malekith. Not the Christopher Ecclestone one who fought Thor, but the bitter, Warhammer one who got burned by Asuryan’s flames and was thus denied the elven throne. That’s right: it’s the Dark Elves’ reveal trailer.

Here's everything we know about Total War: Warhammer II so far.

Captured in-engine, the new trailer shows a High Elf city under attack by their hateful kin. On show is a Black Dragon – Seraphon, if it’s Malekith’s mount – and a fire-breathing Hydra, a powerful unit on the tabletop.
