TW games - the future

[Hooahguy]

Yup, only 3 Warhammer titles. So I guess the only thing we historical title fans can do is patiently wait. Hopefully we will see an announcement by the end of the year.

I'm pretty sure they will do something else other than Warhammer.

[Hooahguy]

Oh for sure, as I recall the license for Warhammer only lasts 3 games so the future belongs to the historical games. Now of course the debate is what that historical era will be since CA said it wont be an era they have done before.

[edyzmedieval]

But I'm sure they will do some other fantasy title as well...

So this doesn't give anything away but seems they are actively working on it whatever it is & its not a sequel

We have had many questions on when our next historical title is going to be available, so we thought we would try to clear up any confusion and give you some information on what our historical teams have been up to these past few months.

We’ve already spoken a bit (as much as we can at this stage!) about our next historical tent pole, but wanted to clarify that we’re looking at a number of ways of bring a variety of historical content out over the coming months and years, rather than focusing on one singular project. That’s not to say these projects are a distraction to the tent pole’s development, with the Historical sub-teams split out exactly as the Historical and WARHAMMER teams are.

Specifically, we have recently been looking at ways in which we might get back to historical content before we release the next major historical Total War, in particular thinking about additional content or standalones for some of our more recent historical titles. Jack Lusted and veteran team members from the ROME II and ATTILA teams have formed a new Total War team to investigate further, and we’re excited to share news of their intentions as soon as we’re able.

The important thing to note is that whilst our developers can switch between projects based on workloads, our historical and fantasy teams are separate and managed separately, meaning whether it’s an historical or fantasy project we can give each title the attention it requires.

Production for our next historical major release is well underway, as mentioned before, with the team working on all areas of the game at this stage; the game design is locked and asset creation fully underway. We have seen some particularly jaw-dropping character and campaign map concepts that have really pushed the strong visual design of this release.

We have also been collaborating with our first historical advisor, pre-eminent in his field and already bringing that world-leading expertise to bear on our designs and extensive research so far – don’t forget, it’s an era that we haven’t tackled yet, so we want to make sure we get it right.

The game retains a strong focus on character design that we have pursued in previous major releases, with the key personalities of the period in particular being an early priority. There are vibrant and striking renders plastered around the studio, with eye-catching combat animations garnering some serious attention too.

Of course, none of the above mentioned projects are ready to be shown off just yet, and we don’t want to give too much info away – But we still wanted to keep you updated as much as we can

Historical Team – Unannounced Total War Title

Our next major historical release is now in full production with the game design locked and asset creation fully underway. The game retains the same strong focus on character design that infused previous major releases, with the key personalities of the period in particular being an early priority for us now; as such there are some vibrant and striking renders plastered around the studio, with eye-catching combat animations garnering some serious attention too.

Historical Team – Unannounced Total War Title
With production getting fully underway in the new year, pre-production for our next historical major release continues. Also, we have now partnered with our first historical advisor, pre-eminent in his field and already bringing that world-leading expertise to bear on our designs and extensive research so far. Unfortunately there’s nothing more to report this month that wouldn’t give the game away before we’re ready

It will still be some time before we are able to share anything specific about our next big historical game. The official social media channels, and the world’s press will certainly tell you when there’s more to reveal.

In related news, we’ve recently been looking at ways in which we might get back to historical content before we release the next major historical Total War, in particular thinking about additional content or standalones for some of our more recent historical titles. Nothing decided yet though.

I'm getting a 3 Kingdoms China vibe out of that
Or just seeing what I want to

Edit: or is Warring States?

[edyzmedieval]

Clearly it will be a period marked by very important personalities - so something that has been shaped by those characters. Quite interesting.

New period totally.

I guess you can't buy Attilla anymore or is it available on Steam.
