Total War: Warhammer 3’s latest trailer reveals the upcoming Mirror of Madness for 2023. Behold, Game Lab but for Warhammer 3.

A mysterious new trailer surfaced late last week for Total War: Warhammer 3. In it, we got a glimpse of Mirror of Madness, a new mode for the hit strategy game. But what does it mean?

And why is Intel all over the place in the trailer? Have a look for yourself.

While the trailer is extremely metal, what with its negative colors and slow-motion graphics enough to make you think you’re in a video game trailer scripted by Strong Bad, circa 2008, precious little is known about Mirror of Madness as of yet. Creative Assembly has revealed that it’s coming in 2023, and that they’re partnering with Intel to do so.

However, many folks have already drawn comparison to the Laboratory mode introduced in Total War: Warhammer 2. Introduced as free DLC, the lab mode was a custom “vs. AI” battle that could be configured with a healthy number of sliders.

Players could adjust:

  • Unit Size – Increase the number of soldiers per unit and single units’ health
  • Winds of Magic – Increase the availability of Winds of Magic for spellcasting
  • Explosions – Increase the size of explosion and vortex spells
  • Vigour Cost Reduction – Make units stay fresh for longer
  • Reload Time – Reduce the amount of time it takes to reload ranged weapons
  • Ammunition – Increase the total amount of shots per ranged unit
  • Projectile Penetration – Increase the distance projectiles can travel through enemies
  • Gravity – Decrease the effect of Gravity on units who are knocked into the air
  • Ability Radius – Increase the effect radius of abilities
  • Ability Recharge Reduction – Reduces recharge time on abilities
  • Charge Duration – Increase the duration of time it takes for charge bonus to fade away
  • Entity Scale – Increase or decrease the size of single unit entities like Lords and Monsters

And, like the Mirror of Madness, this too was brought to you by Intel. So get ready to gaze deep within and see what the Mirror reveals to you, in 2023.
