New TW title set to be announced on the 24th-28th september!!!

[Bethencourt]

So soon? Enjoy your rushed game lads.*

*Now with 200% extra budget for marketing purposes!

This thread is very cheap.

By Odin, it better be Medieval 3

By Thorches, no.

If it's this soon, it means they're most likely building this game on Warscape. If they're doing that, then its going to be the same crap they've spewed out since Empire.

So aye, I will be cheap - Warscape is a terrible, terrible engine and it is in dire need of replacement.

Obviously, the next TW game will be a standalone expansion for Rome II. Most likely it will be Barbarian Invasion II.

It's not really soon for an expansion, standalone or not. 2014 is the first year that no new TW game was released. Actually I am surprised that it took them so long to announce Attila. I expected it sometime in August.

[Zwirbaum]

If it is Warhammer - I will be very pleased. Excited even. Expansion for Rome 2 - also. Other titles, eras, whatever - it depends

God, first I have to wait for 16th September and now for 24-25th. Oh my.

I'd like something new like a Victorian age TW, but I think it will be a stand alone expansion for Rome (Barbarian Invasion or smt like that)

i like something new also but not on this engine.but let it be BI II(Attila) and after that an anouncement of the development of new engine.that will make a lot of people happy imo. i think alot can have a extra 2/3years without a new tw title.

I think that is not the business concept any longer.

[Scythion]

I think that is not the business concept anymore.

How many years went by since Shogun 2 released?

[Bethencourt]

I do not know. If you add one year since september 2013 to those 2 or three, it makes too long it would mean three or four years. And they are working in a warhammer and in an arena project.

Empire was released in 2009 then Napoleon, Shogun II and Rome II in 2013. This makes 4 games plus expansions in four and a half years.

i know,but how long they gonna use the same engine..when was empire released?
but im just dreaming....they don't care

[IlluminatiRex]

I predict that this is the long awaited Barbarian Invasion II expansion, ala FoTS.

[Bethencourt]

Then I hope it is Empire 2, or Victoria or something like.

Well they hired Joey, a Warhammer Youtuber, to work on the Total War community team.

That said, it will likely be a Rome 2 standalone expansion, like FOTS for Shogun 2.

This only makes sense if Warhammer is part of Total War series. TBH Joey seems about as interested in TW as I am in Warhammer.

Well spotted.

I've always assumed they moved Total War to the front of the game names to encompass Warhammer. You couldn't call a game Warhammer: Total War. That would be a rubbish name. Total Warhammer on the other hand sounds like a cool name tho nay?

I can't find any place where Warhammer is called anything by CA except the Warhammer Project. All indications are they keep it entirely separate from TW because it's a licensing deal with the Games Workshop or whatever it's called. Just as Aliens is a licensing deal SEGA has with Fox.

I think that is not the business concept any longer.

+1 There is a major game or stand-alone expansion about once per year. Gets repetitive doesn't it?

Somewhere in there, behind the scenes, it's reasonable to assume they are developing a 64 bit engine for the future. Won't be the Attila expansion though.

About the first part it is something that happens actually, mixing two or more commercial top names is a kind of intended success formula, like Superman versus Batman, or the Avengers, or Alliens versus Predator.

About the second, it is an industry so they do it as the others do, sometimes they make the product better than other times. Maybe we have to learn to be more selective.

I think it will be warhammer, despite the sieges we actually have. Maybe they have developed another system while working in Rome II.
