Total War: Medieval III Announced by The Creative Assembly

Total War: Medieval III - Redefining Empires with Warcore and Community Involvement

Sega and The Creative Assembly have announced Total War: Medieval III and a new game engine called Warcore. The announcement, made at Creative Assembly's 25th-anniversary showcase on December 4, 2025, also teased an additional title to be revealed at The Game Awards on December 11th. The studio also mentioned Total War: Warhammer III – Lords of the End Times during the show. Creative Assembly released a live-action trailer emphasizing the return to the historical roots of the Total War series. Medieval III aims to combine the series' established historical foundation with unprecedented player freedom, allowing players to rewrite events and reshape empires. The game will use the new Warcore engine, promising enhanced animations, rendering, and campaign system complexity. An experienced team, including series veterans and historical experts, is working on the project. Notably, Medieval III is still in early pre-production, without a defined launch window. Creative Assembly intends to involve the community in the development process from the outset.

Medieval III: A New Era of Community-Driven Strategy and Historical Sandbox Gameplay

According to game director Pawel Wojs, who worked on Medieval II nearly 20 years ago, the early announcement aims to foster community engagement. In conjunction with the announcement, Creative Assembly launched a new hub on the official website to facilitate this communication. "Our intention in announcing so early is simple: Medieval III is important to us, and we know it's important to you, so we want to give the opportunity to get a bit closer to the project," Wojs stated. He added that the website hub will provide a direct line of communication with fans, allowing the team to share ideas, showcase progress, and gather community feedback. Wojs envisions Medieval III as "the ultimate sandbox in Total War set in the medieval world," allowing players to "alter the course of history." The previous installment, Medieval II: Total War, launched on November 12, 2006. In the game, players lead a European faction during the Middle Ages, engaging in battles and diplomacy to expand their territory and influence. It was praised for its depth and historical accuracy, offering improved graphics, larger maps, and more realistic units than its predecessor, Rome: Total War.
