Also, I would love to see the next Medieval TW game on the new Warhammer engine, that would be amazing...

Maybe there will be a Halloween sale or a flash sale before then.

There will be, yes, the Steam Autumn Sale. Which I think will be in November.

I saw Medieval II on sale a couple months back for $6.99 (I think). I'm still kicking myself for not having picked it up at the time.

Yup, I believe during the Steam Summer Sale it was that low. Guess we will have to wait another month before the autumn sale then.

I believe I have every Total War title except Thrones of Britannia, it wasn't well accepted at the time and I wouldn't get it even when it was on sale. Truth be told, I am ready for the next Total War title, even though it will probably be only slightly expanded and updated version of Warhammer 2.

Just my two cents...

I'll admit to being quite the fan of ToB. Of all the modern historical TW titles, it's my favorite one after Rome II.

No, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and it didn't help that (like Rome II) it was in somewhat rough shape at release. However, subsequent updates improved it significantly, and given the game's current state, I believe its reputation is worse than what it deserves.

Is Thrones the greatest Total War game of all time? Not even close. Is it the worst ever? Not by a long shot.

Yes, Warhammer 3 is undoubtedly the next major title being worked on, and therefore the next to be announced. I don't believe we'll hear any news about it until at least sometime next year, however...and maybe not even then.

With COVID throwing a wrench into everyone's development schedules, I'm wondering if we'll see *any* standalone Total War game before 2022. CA has hinted that in the meantime, they may focus on putting out DLC for Troy and WH2. I hope that proves to be a pessimistic assessment, and that Warhammer 3 comes out next year still, but at this point I wouldn't care to bet any money on it.

As for what comes after WH3, I'm personally hoping for either Empire 2 or Medieval 3. Keeping fingers crossed!

No worries. As it happens, I noticed the sale price myself, so went ahead and picked it up.

Layers of Fear 2 is now free on Epic Games.

"Layers of Fear 2 is a first-person psychological horror game with an emphasis on exploration and story. Players control a Hollywood actor who heeds the call of an enigmatic director to take on the lead role in a film shot aboard an ocean liner."

If you like a good psycho-thriller and a good scare, this seems like a good choice. Especially since it is, after all, free.
