Some awesome news overnight from The Game Awards – Total War is coming to the grim dark future of Warhammer 40,000!
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 brings the award-winning franchise into the Era Indomitus, with deep turn-based strategy and epic real-time battles. Check out this jaw-dropping announce trailer from our friends at SEGA and Creative Assembly:
Fans of Total War: Warhammer will already know what to look forward to: strategic depth, brutal battles, and cinematic warfare. Now in the 41st Millennium, you’ll be waging war on a galactic scale. You’ll be able to conquer planets, upgrade your fleet, and manage your resources, before unleashing your forces in apocalyptic battle.
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will have four factions to choose from at launch: Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Aeldari, with each offering wildly different playstyles and challenges in both campaign and battle modes.
The game will be packed with iconic Warhammer 40,000 units, from battleline infantry and tanks to walkers and colossal war engines. Did you see that Stompa in the trailer?!
You’ll also be able to customise your force, from its name, colour scheme and heraldry down to its traits and tactics. So, whether you want to make your Total War army match your tabletop collection, or just create an awesome new thematic colour scheme, go for it!
Game director Attila Mohacsi said: “Warhammer 40,000 is a science-fantasy setting without equal. Its galactic scale, iconic factions, and brutal battles have contributed to a universe that gels perfectly with Total War’s DNA. We’ve worked with Games Workshop for over 15 years and can’t wait to continue that partnership with the aim of creating the definitive Warhammer 40,000 strategy experience just like we did with the Total War: Warhammer series.”
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will release for PC but will also be the franchise’s debut on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. You can wishlist it now!
