Overview
- Creative Assembly confirmed the game is in early pre-production and remains years from release.
- The studio frames the project as a grounded return to historical Total War with player-driven alternate histories and an emphasis on politics, religion, and feudal power structures.
- Medieval III will use the Warcore engine, which upgrades animation, rendering, physics, and campaign systems and enables future Total War titles to launch on PlayStation and Xbox; platforms for this game are not yet confirmed.
- Developers plan roughly quarterly updates and early community engagement to discuss vision and selected design decisions.
- A separate, next major Total War entry will be unveiled at The Game Awards on December 11, and Warhammer 3 support continues with the Lords of the End Times DLC and a free End Times update planned for summer 2026.
