Creative Assembly is developing Total War: Warhammer 40,000, a 2027 release for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Two public-facing beats have established its systems and launch factions, including a closed beta test registration that opened on June 8, 2026.
Creative Assembly's current work centers on one project: Total War: Warhammer 40,000, a strategy title that puts the Total War system into the Warhammer 40,000 setting. The game is set for release in 2027 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Four factions are confirmed for launch: Space Marine, Astra Militarum, Ork, and Aeldari.
The first public look came through a live demo at the Sega booth during Summer Game Fest: Play Days 2026. Registration for the PC closed beta test opened on June 8, 2026. Coverage from that demo described a gameplay shift toward gunfights and cover systems, and noted that Japanese language support returns to the series.
Sega kept the game in front of a Japanese audience at Tokyo Game Show 2026, releasing a game introduction trailer and scheduling a September 19 stage. That stage adds full Japanese voice acting, which the series has not carried before. The trailer itself covers turn-based strategy in the Era Indomitus setting and large-scale real-time battles, with the same four playable factions shown: Space Marine, Astra Militarum, Ork, and Aeldari.
Across both events, the roster and platform list have held steady while the presentation has widened from a demo and beta sign-up to a full trailer and a Japanese voice cast. No release date beyond 2027 has been given.
