Strategy games don't come much bigger than the Total War franchise, and the Warhammer trilogy showed how well the formula worked in a fantasy setting. Now, after three hits in collaboration with Games Workshop, studio Creative Assembly is embracing a grimdark futuristic setting with Total War: Warhammer 40,000.
Warhammer 40K is the most famous miniature wargame in the world, with nearly 40 years of legacy behind it. The 11th edition of the game was released in June 2026. There have been plenty of Warhammer 40K video games in that time, but nothing quite on the scale that 'Total War: Warhammer 40,000' promises.
