A thrilling revelation awaits Total War enthusiasts as Creative Assembly gears up to unveil its latest installment in the acclaimed series. With the announcement slated for The Game Awards, speculation is rife within the gaming community, especially among Warhammer 40,000 devotees. Recent developments have fueled the excitement, hinting at a pivotal new addition to the franchise.
Hints of Warhammer 40,000: Total War
The renowned strategy developer, known for the Total War: Warhammer titles, is rumored to be crafting a Warhammer 40,000 adaptation. This potential announcement has been eagerly anticipated by fans, with sources suggesting the game will finally be unveiled at The Game Awards. A sharp-eyed fan even noticed a likely piece of evidence in Creative Assembly’s latest showcase, drawing attention from the community.
A Reddit user highlighted a fleeting reference to 40K in a recent live stream from Creative Assembly. The reference required a keen eye, as it was almost imperceptible. At the 32:42 mark, files labeled with ’40k’ were spotted, further igniting speculation.
Here are the relevant file names in the video:
- 40k_outfield_sheet_01_base_colour
- 40k_outfield_sheet_01_material_map
- 40k_outfield_sheet_01_normal
This potential leak coincided with Creative Assembly’s discussion about its new game engine, which promises to bring their games to consoles, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. Should these hints lead to the announcement of Total War: Warhammer 40,000, it will likely be available for PC as well.
Keeping an Open Mind
Despite mounting rumors, it’s wise to maintain some skepticism until the official announcement. The Game Awards could surprise everyone with a different reveal. However, given the substantial buzz within the Warhammer 40,000 and Creative Assembly communities, a new 40K game seems a likely candidate.
Previous leaks in the Warhammer 40,000 gaming sphere have emerged from similar file name revelations. For instance, the presence of the Dark Angels Primarch Lion El’Jonson in the upcoming RTS Dawn of War 4 was inadvertently exposed in a video, a fact later confirmed by Developer King Art Games. Whether Creative Assembly’s recent slip was intentional or not remains a mystery.
Stay tuned for more insights and predictions on what to expect from The Game Awards.
