While Creative Assembly garnered plenty of attention for Alien: Isolation 2, it also has Total War: Warhammer 40,000 on the way. Appearing during the PC Gaming Show, the development team spoke more about handling the IP and the efforts it took to capture it.
Beyond this, there was plenty of new gameplay, showcasing the Orcs and the Imperial Guard. Massive battles were promised, and Creative Assembly delivers, but even closer to the ground, the details are immaculate. It’s especially satisfying to see explosions ring out and limbs go flying everywhere.
As incredible as the battles look, the team is working hard to ensure varied environments with its planet-making system. Even if you happen upon an ice planet, various factors can significantly alter its makeup. For example, Arid conditions will ensure more craters while Temperate conditions will result in ice and rocks around settlements.
The sheer variety is pretty impressive, especially when considering architecture and verticality during combat. Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, and while a release date remains unknown, a closed beta is coming. You can sign up here to note your interest, though once again, when it will go live remains to be announced. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
