As previously promised, developer Creative Assembly showed up to the Game Awards 2025 to reveal the next big Total War strategy game the team is working on.
As many may have guessed, the developer is staying in the realm of Games Workshop properties, with Total War: Warhammer 40K on the way. Actor David Harbour (Stranger Things) took to the stage to reveal the game, while also announcing that he'll be part of the game's cast.
You can check out the reveal trailer below:
The brief look at gameplay is quite revealing, showing a look at massed armies of humanity with Space Marines taking on Orks. Notably, it also reveals that factions will be competing across multiple planets, meaning it's war at a far greater scale than any prior Total War game.
While Total War: Warhammer 40K will be coming to Windows PC like players would expect, it'll also be coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, marking a first for the long-running series.
Creative Assembly previously noted that console releases could be possible in the future, specifically namedropping Xbox and PlayStation when discussing upgrades to the game engine the studio uses.
Titled the Warcore engine, these upgrades have focused on improved physics, pathfinding, and vehicle functionality, among other features.
Looking ahead, Creative Assembly is also working on Total War: Medieval 3, though this game is explicitly extremely early in development, having just entered pre-production as the studio seeks to solicit player feedback on numerous systems.
A team is also continuing to work on Total War: Warhammer 3, with a new expansion called Lords of the End Times bringing Nagash and a variety of dangerous endgame threats to the Warhammer Fantasy world in Summer 2026.
