Total War Saga Series Announced

Creative Assembly announces a "new class" of Total War game, revealing plans for a series of Total War Saga games that will be standalone spinoffs of the historical strategy series. They describe these as smaller scenarios with a greater focus on specific regions or groups. They note that they've dabbled in this before, as the Fall of the Samurai spin-off of Total War: SHOGUN 2 is the kind of project this will produce. There is a Q&A with Jack Lusted, game developer on the first of these Sagas. They are holding back on details for now, though he does give a general outline of the setting:
Michael: Any hints yet as to the content? Why did you want to make a game based at this particular point in history?

Jack: We’ll announce it properly in the next few months, but I can say that it’s another spiritual follow-up to Total War: ROME II, like Total War: ATTILA, and moves the time period forward in much the same way. It’s great being able to build on and optimise the tech and the content from those games, like the work we did on ATTILA with Age of Charlemagne. Especially for a moment in history we’ve not spent enough time with yet as a studio.

Don't the candy crush people sue everyone who uses "saga" in their name? This should be interesting...

Really? They're making a game about the band Saga? I guess they decided it in the heat of the moment.

Right, thanks for the correction. It's a good thing you're on the loose!

Even though I played the very first few ,- I never did get back into any of the rest of the series.....

I jumped back in at TW: Warhammer because I got it in the Humble Monthly Subscription. It actually is a very good game. Less complexity than TW: Shogun, but in a way that fits Warhammer lore and the universe.
