As The Creative Assembly works on fixes for the Total War: Warhammer 3 – Omens of Destruction expansion, its vice president Roger Collum took the time to write a lengthy blog post on the state of the franchise and its future . This message follows the major letter of apology published at the end of 2023, where The Creative Assembly admitted to having been off the mark on the economic model of expansions and on the content of Total War: Pharaoh.
« This message was received with a mixture of hope and skepticism, which I can understand ” said Roger Collum. ” I told you that we couldn't turn around in two weeks, and that moving in the right direction would require long-term effort. This process is still ongoing. »Among the adjustments coming in 2025, we will be able to say goodbye to DLCs which add gore effects: The Creative Assembly will now provide hemoglobin in the base games. when relevant “. It's the least we can do.
But the biggest development will, without a doubt, be the announced euthanasia of launcher Total War. « I think we all want a smooth Total War experience, and the launcher is a barrier. We are working on removing the launcher, but first we want to put a new mod management system in place. I don't know exactly when this will be finished, but we are actively working on it. » Good news that follows the course of history, since the publisher 2K Games is also abandoning its launcher while Ubisoft now tends to rely less on it.
Finally, The Creative Assembly also promises that the next games Total War will no longer restrict factions to pre-orders, so that everyone starts with the same resources. Also count on a more flexible commercial policy with new individual packs for the previous expansion Total War : Warhammer 3 – Shadows of Changewhere we can buy its factions individually, based on the model of the very latest expansions of the strategy game.
Roger Collum ends his message by announcing big celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the franchise Total Warwith free extensions for Total War : Warhammer 3 and new projects which will be revealed towards the end of 2025. Moreover, although the studio does not mention it here, The Creative Assembly is also working on Alien: Isolation 2.
