„The rebirth of historical Total War” Total War: Medieval 3 announced

by

Creative Assembly just revealed Total War: Medieval 3 with a new trailer. The trailer is short—just over a minute—and confirms the strategy game is still early in development. We didn’t get to see any actual gameplay, only images of rulers and their plans for taking over the world. The last game in the series, Total War: Medieval 2, came out in 2006, meaning its 20th anniversary is next year. Despite its age, fans are still creating updates and mods for Medieval 2, showing there’s a lot of interest in a new installment.

Pawel Wojs, Game Director for the Total War series, recently addressed fan concerns in a blog post about the upcoming game. This comes at a time when many gamers are asking developers to avoid announcing games too far in advance. However, Creative Assembly seems to be doing just that, openly admitting the game is in very early stages of development – likely years away from release. Wojs acknowledges this is earlier than they’ve ever discussed a game publicly, and asks for patience as the team works out the details. While the team wants to involve fans in the development process, it remains to be seen if fans will be willing to wait for the finished product.

If you’ve been following this series, you might be wondering why a sequel is being announced now, after 20 years. What prompted this decision? Fortunately, the recent announcement explains it. According to developer Wojs, a major reason is the development of “Warcore,” a completely new game engine. He describes it as a significant leap forward. However, that’s not all – the team also wanted to ensure they had the right people in place. Wojs, who previously worked on Total War: Medieval 2 nearly two decades ago, says it’s a dream come true to lead the development of its sequel. The announcement also highlights that Creative Assembly has assembled a team with extensive experience and a strong understanding of what makes historical strategy games engaging.

The team behind the upcoming Total War: Medieval 3 is setting very high expectations. They’ve described it not just as a new game, but as a complete reimagining of the historical Total War series. In their announcement, they call Medieval 3 the ultimate historical sandbox experience, allowing players to rewrite history and explore countless ‘What if?’ scenarios.

I’m really excited because the team says they’ll keep us updated on how the game is coming along! They also mentioned they’re not quite ready to show it off yet – they still have a lot of work to do before they share an early version. So, it sounds like we’ll need to be patient, but I’m happy they’re being upfront about it and I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for those updates!
