A free update is also being prepared
Let’s start with Total War: Warhammer IIIwhich is therefore not yet dead and which will continue to evolve in the future. Creative Assembly wishes to continue supporting this episode, in particular with the arrival of a new DLC, which will be called Lords of the End Times.
Four new legendary lords will be introduced here, including the necromancer Nagash. And if you don’t want to spend a penny more on this game, a free update will also be offered with additional scenarios for the campaign. The release is scheduled for summer 2026.
Back to medieval times, with a little more patience
Then comes the announcement that will make the most noise, that of Total War: Medieval III. It’s been a while since part of the public of Total War hoped that the saga would return to the medieval context, and the studio understood this well. With this new episode, Creative Assembly wants to reinvent the license, but it will take time.
In a first blog entry, Pawel Wojs, director of this episode, states that the game is in early pre-productionand if it is announced so early, it is because the studio wants to be more transparent with the community:
“ Our intention in announcing this earlier is simple: Medieval III is important to us, and we know it is important to you, too. We would therefore like to give you the opportunity to discover it in more detail. Our goal is to tell you more about what we’re working on and why we’re doing it. This is a new way for us to communicate about the early stages of a game’s development, but we’re excited to share this adventure with you. […] We plan to provide news approximately every quarter, as development at this stage is very rapid. This will allow us to present ideas that are more likely to stand the test of time. »
For this title, the studio will be based on a new version of its technical engine, with new tools and new animations. Creative Assembly has also assembled a team of veterans who know the genre well, and who are therefore able to better understand the expectations of the public. So it’s not tomorrow that you’ll be playing Total War: Medieval III, but after all these years, knowing that the game is finally real should already be enough for some.
