New Total War Game in The Works

A new installment in the Total War series of strategy games is already in development at The Creative Assembly, reports Eurogamer. They confirm that work began on the next Total War game began before they completed Shogun 2, though the setting of the new game is not being revealed at this time. They also have comments from TCA's Mike Simpson and Tim Heaton expressing satisfaction with Shogun 2, and describing the "long tail" sales pattern of the franchise.

They wouldn't DARE take on WW2, why? Company of Heroes. You cannot fucking top that WW2 RTS, ever. Only Relic could possibly beat themselves in a remake.

Nah, two different types of gameplay there. I bet a Total War: WW2 European and Pacific campaign would be awesome.

My guesses

Total War: WW1
Total War: Rome II
Total War: 2500


They wouldn't DARE take on WW2, why? Company of Heroes. You cannot fucking top that WW2 RTS, ever. Only Relic could possibly beat themselves in a remake.

I am thinking that the true strength of the TW series lies in the pre-horse and Musket eras, so I don't know how good anything like 'WW1:TW' or 'Space Marine:TW' would be. Formations, something the Total War formula is built upon, are largely rendered moot by long range repeater rifles.

My guess is a fantasy world a la 'Warhammer: Mark of Chaos' or the 'Warcraft:Total War' mod. but we shall see..

I hope they remake Rome: Total War, personally. That is still an awesome game although I love the Europa Barbarorum (http://www.europabarbarorum.com/) mod more than the original.

Total War: 5000BC.

That might be interesting.

Though I agree with a TW sci fi RTS. That would kick ass. Especially if the grounded it in real(ish) science fact.

Shogun 2 was indeed awesome.

What I'd really like to see is an Imperium Galactica style space TW game. That would make my day.

Your loss 'cause Shogun 2 is amazing.
