The controversy got so bad that the reveal trailer had over 50, dislikes and some fans have gone so far as to dislike every video following the Chaos reveal trailer that was posted on the Total War channel. Predictably enough, many responded negatively to this reveal, citing that Creative Assembly were deliberately 'taking the fifth faction hostage' in order to force customers to pre-order. They also revealed a Collector's Edition, with some fancy Dwarfish items, and pre-ordering would give access to the Chaos Warriors faction. Then on October 22nd, Sega announced the release of the game to be on the 28th of April in later pushed back to May because they wanted to get the launch relatively bug-free. The original reveal trailer, first shown on April 22nd, received overwhelmingly positive receptions, with each race considered to be well designed, aligned to the canon and having legendary lords which meant many relevant named characters would be in the game. The first game focused on the Old World, the second on the New World, and the third will be presumably in the Dark Lands. The games themselves are being developed parallel to the historical games that Creative Assembly is best known for.
