- Creative Assembly and Sega have revealed Total War: Warhammer 40,000
- There will be four playable factions, tons of iconic units from the 40K universe, and a galactic scale level.
- There is no release date yet, but it will come to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
Finally. Finally! The strategy gaming giant that is Total War is finally welcoming the bleak and dark future.
Yesterday at The Game Awards, Sega and Creative Assembly released the announcement trailer for Total War: Warhammer 40,000 and it has me firmly excited for an epic empire-building adventure.
With turn-based battle and strategy on a galactic scale, and four factions (Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks and Aeldari) to choose from at launch, along with a host of familiar and iconic units from the universe, it’s a match made in heaven and could be a true real-time strategy visual spectacle.
The team has said it’s currently “a little far in the future,” but if it lands in 2026, I’ll be up to my eyeballs in delicious 40K goodness, given that Warhammer 40,000: dawn of war 4 It is also on the horizon.
Look
I bounced around the Total War: Warhammer fantasy games a bit, but I’ve always had a soft spot for games like Rome and Medieval in the series. Combine that with my constant gravitation towards the 40K side of Warhammer over the years, and this will probably be huge for me.
I can’t wait to get familiar with each faction and face the challenges each will face on the battlefield and on the empire map.
This will take me back to moving 40,000 units across terrain in real life over 20 years ago in battle, strategically thinking about what to do and when, all in real time. But it will also give me that sweet satisfaction of building an empire, doing diplomacy and closing deals; although it remains to be seen how Creative Assembly could make the negotiation between Space Marines and Orks diplomatic – that could be fun!
There is no release date or window yet, but it has been confirmed that when it comes out, Total War: Warhammer 40,000 It can be played on PC, as well as on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
