What is happening now

Total War: Warhammer 40,000 brings the turn-based strategy series to Games Workshop's grimdark universe across PC and current-generation consoles. The game combines Total War's signature large-scale battles with the faction diversity and lore of Warhammer 40K, set across an expanded galactic campaign map made possible by Creative Assembly's new Warcore engine. The studio has emphasized that controller support was built into the battle system from the ground up rather than bolted on afterward, pushing back against the perception that traditional RTS games can't work on gamepads. Creative Assembly has also signaled its intention to support unconventional tactics and playstyles - the kind of emergent, sometimes uncinematic moments the series is known for - provided they remain engaging. The Warcore engine's improvements extend beyond raw visuals, with the developer highlighting the campaign scope as a major beneficiary, enabling a full-galaxy map with multiple planets and solar systems to explore.
