Total War Marches Into the Grimdark Future
So, some major news just dropped, and it’s honestly one of the most exciting crossover moments strategy fans have been waiting for. Total War is officially heading into the 41st Millennium with Total War: Warhammer 40,000 , bringing that unmistakable blend of deep turn-based strategy and massive real-time battles right into the grimdark future. This announcement came during The Game Awards, and it landed with serious impact—especially because it was revealed on stage by none other than David Harbour, who also confirmed he’ll appear in the game.
If you’ve ever played the classic Total War: Warhammer trilogy, you already know the kind of epic scale and tactical depth that Creative Assembly delivers. But now those systems are being pushed even further. We’re talking interplanetary warfare, fleets to manage, planets to conquer, and battles that feel like full-on apocalyptic clashes pulled straight from the Warhammer 40K universe. The trailer lays that tone down perfectly—big, brutal, grimdark, and loaded with iconic factions and war machines.

At launch, four core factions will be playable: Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Aeldari . Each one will bring completely different playstyles and very different strategic challenges, both on the campaign map and in battle. The Space Marines seem to be front and center in the initial footage—as expected—but the developers have confirmed that all four factions will be fully featured, complete with their own units, heroes, tactics, and progression paths.
One of the standout features revealed so far is the ability to fully customise your own army . This isn’t just about picking units—you’ll be shaping everything from your faction’s title and heraldry to its traits, wargear, and battlefield identity. It’s being positioned as the first time in Total War where players can forge an army that truly feels like their own creation. Whether you want your in-game force to match your tabletop collection or you’re dreaming up a brand-new colour scheme and theme, the game seems built to support that kind of personal expression.
And yes—if you caught the trailer, that absolutely was a Stompa stomping onto the screen. Massive war engines, tanks, walkers, elite infantry—the full arsenal of the 40K universe is being brought to life with cinematic intensity.
Another huge milestone: this will be the first Total War title launching not just on PC but also on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S . The franchise is finally jumping to consoles, which is a big deal by itself.
The game is still a bit down the road, but the hype is already building fast. You can wishlist it now, and more updates are expected soon. If the trailer is anything to go by, we’re looking at one of the most ambitious Total War projects ever attempted—and a dream come true for fans of Warhammer 40,000.
