Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will be the first entry in the Total War series with full Japanese localization and full Japanese voice acting, a first in the series' 25-year history. Director Attila Mohácsi told Denfaminicogamer at Tokyo Game Show 2026 that Creative Assembly made the decision because the Asian market matters to the studio, Warhammer 40,000 miniatures are selling in more Tokyo stores, and Sega owns the studio, with internal staff long asking why Japanese support was missing. Console expansion also factored in.
