It's happening, the next historical Total War game has been announced. Creative Assembly celebrated Total War's 25th anniversary by releasing a trailer for Total War: Medieval III.
The last historical game in the series (not counting the Saga games) was Total War: Three Kingdoms, which was released in 2019. Medieval II: Total War was released in 2006, that's a long time ago. In fact, its mods are popular too, the most notable one being the Third Age Total War, which is set in Middle-Earth from the Lord of the Rings.
Here is the announcement trailer for Total War: Medieval III. It's more of a live-action teaser, really.
The game will use the studio's next gen engine, Warcore. CA says that it will allow them to release their games on PlayStation and Xbox. Medieval III is still in early pre-production phase, and it could be years before TW:M3 launches.
In fact, it may not be the next Total War game to release. Gematsu reports that Creative Assembly will show the next Total War game at The Game Awards, which is scheduled for December 11th. Kurakasis, a popular leaker, had claimed that a big Star Wars game would be announced at TGA. Putting 2 and 2 together, it sounds like we are going to see Total War: Star Wars.
Some fans were expecting a Total War: Warhammer 40,000 game, and that was a reasonable expectation, given that three games featuring Warhammer's Old Word exist. As a fan of both franchises, I'm pretty excited. Star Wars: Zero Company, an XCOM-like made by former X-COM developers, is releasing in 2026. Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War IV is also releasing next year. And we also have Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy coming from Owlcat, who made the Rogue Trader CRPG.
And there is good news for those who prefer to buy DRM-free games. GOG has partnered with Sega/Creative Assembly, and the following games are now available on its store, and are currently discounted.
Rome: Total War Collection
SHOGUN: Total War Collection
Medieval: Total War Collection
Total War: MEDIEVAL II Definitive Edition
These games are joining the GOG Preservation Program. There's more! Total War: PHARAOH DYNASTIES, Total War: ROME II – Emperor Edition, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, and Total War: ATTILA are coming soon to GOG. This is interesting because both Pharaoh and Three Kingdoms have the Denuvo DRM on Steam. So they are finally removing it from the games.
