Total War: Warhammer 40k—everything We Know About The Series'...

Get all the details about Total War's upcoming venture into the 41st millennium.

It's official, Total War: Warhammer 40k is real, and at some point in the next few years, we'll be dropping into the Imperium of Man to fight and conquer our way across the stars. It's been a long-time coming, frankly, as people have speculated about this combo of strategy titans for years at this point. With the success of Total War: Warhammer, it just makes sense.

While we don't have an exact release date yet, or know everything, we do have quite a bit of info to distill, including some stuff that is easy to speculate from the initial blog post and store page if you know the setting. There is a developer roundtable dropping on December 16, which promises even more details. If you're interested in Total War: Warhammer 40k, you can wishlist it on Steam.

Currently, there isn't an official release date for Total War: Warhammer 40k, but Creative Assembly mention in the developer Q&A that we'll get more details in late 2026, meaning it's a fair assessment that the game isn't going to be released until 2027 at the earliest. We'll presumably find out a bit more about the release window when the developer roundtable drops on December 16. We do know that the game will release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles as well as PC—it'll be the first Total War ever to do so, in fact.

There is currently only one trailer for Total War: Warhammer 40k, which sets the scene with some cinematics, but also shows off some very early pre-alpha gameplay. Apparently content creators were already allowed to play some of the game earlier in the year, though they aren't yet allowed to talk about its features and the experience yet.

The same as with Total War: Warhammer, the 40k version will also have four factions on launch. Here are the official descriptions from the blog post:

"What, no Chaos Space Marines?" I see you ask. Creative Assembly has confirmed that "Whilst they’re [Chaos] not in the game at launch, they’ll absolutely be part of our plans at some point, along with all the other iconic factions from the setting." You might remember, but Creative Assembly caused a bit of a controversy for itself back in the first Total War: Warhammer game, when it released Chaos as a pre-order DLC faction.

This annoyed a lot of people, since Chaos are so essential to the setting. It's possible that it is trying to avoid that happening again, but also take time to do the faction justice.
