New Total War title to be announced tomorrow?

Very excited that in my #GDC talk tomorrow, I can announce a new @totalwar game in development - and it's like nothing we've done before...

https://twitter.com/jameshrussell/status/316980138011136000

Now what we do know is The Creative Assembly has the following titles in development

- Alien (FPS? Survival Horror?)
- Warhammer Fantasy
- Rome II: Total War

Now not to be cynical, but could it just be the first showing of Warhammer but with the subtitle of Total War? Or are we really getting a new Total War title announced tomorrow?

Either way something to cheer MadeManG up after being bitterly disappointed that Super Guus Hiddink Adventures was not announced.

Total War: Pocket Wars
Exclusive iOS based Total War game.


Remember when I told you all to lower your expectations? Quid Pro Quo, Clarice....

In all honesty though, as you said Aki, they already have so much on their plate what could it be if not a re-branded title or something very minor?

Worrying enough, the only Creative Assembly team not working on a title is their mobile team!

A 3rd person action game that is historically accurate but allows you to take your own path? Not Assassins Creed, where you play the role of a 'unknown' or little known assassin. But you play as a general during a olden times. You go through the drama. Could be Alexander based or something. You know, when men where men and fought wars with their men?

I don't think anyone has tried to do a 'general' game with action, drama and etc. Could work on consoles...

Oh... the stuff that I want :(

Of sorts, but with stuff like terrain, 'outside battle plots' helping your army. But also have the 'Brutal Legends' (or) Viking action feel where you are a commander so your squad you are on has more advantages.

Like if you do side quests and ally with other people, the more chances that you will win the battle with less help.

I have not played Kingdom Under Fire, but Brutal Legends didn't have something like that at all. I played that game on hard and I swear on of the missions was impossible. :(

I actually found it easy on hard, but that's because I played a lot of multiplayer in BL. The Multiplayer really makes you learn how to use the units and use everything to your advantage.

You should play Kingdom Under Fire Heroes, it sounds like what you want. I'm pretty sure it took terrain into account, and had things like stamina and morale etc, and as the commander you ran around the battlefield doing attacks etc and could cast spells, direct your units and all sorts of things. I don't remember much about side-quests, but between battles you could hire mercenaries and upgrade troops etc.
