Creative Assembly is preparing Total War: Warhammer 40,000 for a 2027 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a full Japanese localization and Japanese voice acting. The studio also saw Total War: WARHAMMER III pass 100,000 concurrent Steam players after the September 24 release of its Lords of the End Times DLC.
Creative Assembly's upcoming release is Total War: Warhammer 40,000, confirmed for 2027 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game sets the Total War system in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, with turn-based strategy in the Era Indomitus setting and large-scale real-time battles. Four factions were confirmed at launch: Space Marine, Astra Militarum, Ork, and Aeldari. A live demo ran at the Sega booth during Summer Game Fest: Play Days 2026, and PC closed beta test registration opened on June 8, 2026. The demo showed a gameplay shift toward gunfights and cover systems.
The studio is tying the entry to Japan. It will be the first Total War game with full Japanese localization and full Japanese voice acting, a first in the series' 25-year history. Director Attila Mohácsi said at Tokyo Game Show 2026 that the Asian market matters to the studio, that Warhammer 40,000 miniatures are selling in more Tokyo stores, that Sega owns the studio, and that internal staff had long asked why Japanese support was missing. Console expansion also factored in. Sega released a Tokyo Game Show 2026 game introduction trailer for the title.
On the existing side, Total War: WARHAMMER III passed 100,000 concurrent Steam players after the September 24 release of the Lords of the End Times DLC. The DLC adds four Legendary Lords: Nagash, the Glottkin, Thanquol, and Boris Todbringer. The article reports this is the first time the game reached that mark in about four years, since August 2022. Steam user reviews are mixed for three of the four DLCs.
