- Creative Assembly and Sega revealed Total War: Warhammer 40,000
- There will be four playable factions, a multitude of iconic units from the 40K universe and a galactic scale level.
- There’s 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 a dark and gloomy future into its fold.
Yesterday, during the Game Awards, Sega and Creative Assembly revealed the trailer for Total War: Warhammer 40,000 and it put me firmly on the hype train for an epic empire-building adventure.
Featuring galactic-scale turn-based combat and strategy, and four factions – Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks and Aeldari – to choose from at launch, as well as a host of familiar and iconic units from across the universe, it’s a match made in heaven and could be a true visual real-time strategy spectacle.
The team said it’s currently “a bit far in the future,” but if it lands in 2026, I’ll be up to my visor in a delightful 40K, given that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 is also on the horizon.
Look on it
I’ve bounced around a bit on the Total War: Warhammer fantasy games, but I’ve always had a soft spot for entries like Rome and Medieval in the series. Combine that with my continued attraction to the 40K side of Warhammer over the years, and this is probably going to be huge for me.
I look forward to getting acquainted with each faction and tackling the challenges each will face on the battlefield as well as the empire map.
This will take me back to moving 40,000 units across the field in real life, over 20 years ago, into combat, thinking strategically about what to do and when, all in real time. But it will also give me that sweet satisfaction of building an empire, succeeding in diplomacy, and making deals; but it remains to be seen how Creative Assembly could diplomatically make the negotiations between the Space Marines and the Orks – it 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 will be playable on PC, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
