Hi guys,

I am excited to announce that The Creative Assembly will be at Leipzig on August 23rd with some HUGE news - and it won't be about revisiting Rome...

Take care,

Thanks Lusted.

Sounds like we can expect an announcement about TW5 in the near future

For the record, my money's on an internal sci-fi/fantasy IP

[Subedei]

Thanks Lusted! Appreciate the heads-up.

I wonder.

They said the huge news won't be about revisiting Rome. But the way it's worded sounds like R2:TW could still be an option, but the news isn't about it

Or maybe I'm misunderstanding. I really hope they go back to Rome, my favorite era.

Who said it was even a new game. Maybe they will be giving out a Mod Development Kit or adding all of those changes we have non stopped bitched about. It could even be better AI features or a broken MP mode fixed.

Or, the lead designer of the ... is coming out of the closet and chooses this way to let the family/friends know. Its too early to even pretend to get excited about anything.

I wrote that on the other thread but because it was closed because it was deemed redundant by a real PAIN. I decided to repost it here.

Usually "HUGE" news would imply a new direction or development in the franchise, not patches.

But I'd much rather have a patch than a new game to be honest.

well, it could be Bugs:TW, bighypeddissapointment:TW, Nottestedenoughandrushedtothemarket:TW or something in that vein. on the other hand, didnt CA recently ask wether people woud buy a fantasy game?

a Global:TW or History:TW should probably not be wished for, its touhg enough to make a game limited by era and region good.

That's Rome: Total War.

Leipzig is big, way bigger than E3. CA chose the right place for a big news like this really. Wish I can be there...then again it's more like a trade show than a fan convention.

Looking forward to it. Here's hoping for a new game for the franchise in the works.

E3 practically is a trade convention these days...
