Total War: Medieval 3 is going to be CA's first historical game in a very long time by the time it comes out, and it seems the company is trying its best to be as transparent about the game as possible. And, as part of that transparency, game director Pawel Wojs commented on what CA is doing to make Medieval 3 great, saying that simply remaking the classics and calling it a day wouldn't suffice.
Speaking to Slitherine Games, Wojs said the "whole point of the rebirth of historical [Total War] is building on that legacy [of the Medieval series]" and that Creative Assembly is "very familiar with what made Medieval 2 work." Wojs himself was a developer on Medieval 2 over 20 years ago, but nevertheless believes merely recreating it in Medieval 3 wouldn't produce good results.
