I really like CA effort to make something new, rather then print out the same era games.

I hope the campaign will be centred around the Empire.

Factions:
The Empire (duh)
Brets
Wood elves
Dwarfs
Undead
Chaos
Orcs

Or maybe they will come up with something better, Don'tt think they could make the whole world?

All the elector counts please, Chaos divided/undivided, all the major greenskin tribes, etc. Just don't blob several mini-factions together. Also, don't forget the Skaven!

Also, we are not sure where will this game fit into the timeline: it may aswell be about Sigmar or Ulric.

I hope CA wasn't planning a big surprise party or a press conference for the announcement...
I was so sure it would be Mark of Chaos II, what a relief.

Hmm, seeing there are many visitors in this thread, I might point out there's a cool WHFB mod released for Medieval 2: Total War (it's also getting a major patch soon). Check it here (moddb) and here (local subforum)!

MY BODY IS READY

I just hope they do the old canon and not the End Times factions, since it's been in development I would assume it's not the latter, but still.

**atheniandp** · January 13, 2015, 08:45 PM

This sounds intriguing, but I really do hope CA doesn't ditch historical themes for Total War following this.

**Encablossa** · January 13, 2015, 09:01 PM

Wasn't there a post a few months ago from Creative Assembly hiring employees to work on this? Fairly certain this has been known to be in development for a while.

And that's beside the fact the partnership with GW was public and there's a screenshot floating around showing Warhammer assets in the warscape engine.

Either way all I want is for Sylvania, Lizardmen, and Norscans to be playable. Hyped.

Apparently you unlock factions for the Grand Campaign by defeating them in the traditional Warhammer game. How do I know this. Because I just made it up.

**nuclearaddict** · January 13, 2015, 09:55 PM

About time they mention something about it. Didn't they acquire the license years and years ago?

Maybe this could shake up the series. They've done just about everything they could with iron and steel in a historical setting (that's known to the general public). Alien: Isolation proved they can go out of their comfort zone and deliver something solid.

I just hope that this is a side project...

Different project teams for Warhammer and traditional TW games

**Riekopo** · January 13, 2015, 10:46 PM

Doesn't that suggest it's a mobile game? If they are making a more traditional Total War Warhammer they better make a new engine that can handle melee well.

**Yayattasa** · January 13, 2015, 10:46 PM

TL;DR: CA is working on a new Total War based on WHFB; the team is not the same as the usual Total War team; this is the actual confirmation, everything else was only educated guesses.

The phrase can surely sound ambiguous, but it pretty much said TW:WH is not meant for mobiles.

**DeliCiousTZM** · January 13, 2015, 11:26 PM

This is a game i have been looking forwards to for years! With Attila soon to be launched. I'm very interested in what CA will spend most of their focus on.

Most of us here are hardcore History buffs that love the time periods, but personally with the release of Attila i feel sated enough to wait an extra year for Empire Total war(Which i suspect is the next big historic era to be tackled)

BUT! More importantly What do you think?

**Påsan** · January 13, 2015, 11:40 PM

From a Total War perspective, this could be a gamechanger, considering the vast amount of new mechanics that they would need to put into the game to make a convincing Warhammer universe. It really could freshen up the TW template with new opportunities and possibilities. If indeed this is a Total War title.

**Headclot** · January 13, 2015, 11:42 PM

Really excited

I want to know more!

**Junaidi83 de Bodemloze** · January 13, 2015, 11:47 PM

I hope its like on medieval 2 call of warhammer, not some action game

**Påsan** · January 14, 2015, 12:01 AM

Well for me the best scenario would be a TW version of the End Times.

However notice that the "announcement" comes after TW:Arena and TW:Mobile game. So this could possibly be a smaller game without the grandeur of a "real" TW title. That would obviously be a massive disappointment as Warhammer fans and the less fanatic TW fans are getting hyped for the full experience.

for the supremacist history purists: The most popular Medieval 2 mod is Third Age. A Lord of the Rings mod.
