Announcing Total War: Warhammer 40,000 – A New Era of Galactic Strategy
In an exciting reveal at The Game Awards, Total War has officially entered the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000. This marks the highly anticipated expansion of the Total War franchise, bringing the series’ deep turn-based strategy and real-time battles to the 41st Millennium. Prepare for epic galactic warfare on a scale unlike anything seen before!
A New Age of Strategy and Warfare
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will immerse players in the Era Indomitus, a time of cataclysmic conflict where multiple factions battle for dominance across the galaxy. Combining the best aspects of the Total War formula with the brutal and expansive lore of Warhammer 40,000, the game promises an unprecedented strategic experience.
Fans of the Total War: Warhammer series will feel right at home with the familiar mix of strategic depth, large-scale battles, and cinematic warfare. But in this new setting, it’s not just kingdoms you’ll conquer—it’s entire planets. Players will need to manage their resources, upgrade fleets, and lead massive armies in apocalyptic clashes for control of the galaxy.
Play as Iconic Warhammer 40,000 Factions
At launch, Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will feature four legendary factions, each offering a unique playstyle and gameplay challenges:
- Space Marines – The genetically enhanced super-soldiers of the Imperium, known for their resilience and tactical superiority.
- Astra Militarum – The human soldiers of the Imperium, skilled in overwhelming numbers and artillery fire.
- Orks – Brutal, savage, and reckless, Orks thrive in chaos, turning anything into a weapon of war.
- Aeldari – The ancient, psychic race known for their speed, cunning, and advanced technology.
Each faction brings its own set of tactics, strengths, and weaknesses to both the campaign and battlefield, ensuring that every playthrough is unique.
Iconic Units and Customization
The game will feature a vast array of iconic Warhammer 40,000 units, from infantry squads and tanks to towering walkers and colossal war engines. The reveal trailer showcased a jaw-dropping Stompa, one of the largest and most fearsome Ork machines of war, but that’s just a taste of the battlefield variety to come.
In addition to the brutal warfare, Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will offer a high level of customization for your forces. You’ll be able to personalize your army’s name, colour scheme, heraldry, and even tactical traits. Whether you want your army to reflect your Warhammer tabletop collection or create a brand-new, thematic force, the customization options will be vast.
A Perfect Union: Total War and Warhammer 40,000
Attila Mohacsi, the game director, emphasized the unique synergy between Warhammer 40,000 and Total War. “Warhammer 40,000 is a science-fantasy setting without equal. Its galactic scale, iconic factions, and brutal battles have contributed to a universe that gels perfectly with Total War’s DNA,” he said. With over 15 years of collaboration with Games Workshop, Creative Assembly is confident that this partnership will deliver the definitive Warhammer 40,000 strategy experience, just as they did with the Total War: Warhammer series.
