Total War: Warhammer 40,000 will be released not only for PC, but also for PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Wishlist registration is now open on each store, so be sure to add it to your list!

ANNOUNCE TRAILER OUT NOW

The game’s debut trailer was introduced at The Game Awards by Emmy-nominated actor and Warhammer 40,000 superfan, David Harbour (Stranger Things, Marvel Cinematic Universe), who will portray a mysterious, yet to-be-revealed character. Within it, the bleak but spectacular setting is on full display as mankind’s vast armies battle to protect their crumbling empire in a galaxy ravaged by unending war.

WAGE TOTAL WAR IN THE 41ST MILLENIUM

For the first time, Total War steps into the far future, bringing its signature blend of strategic depth and cinematic warfare to the brutal, battle-scarred galaxy of Warhammer 40,000. Set within a vast galactic sandbox, players will forge a warpath across the stars, bending the galaxy to their will as they crusade through an age of relentless war and conquest.

The game sets out on an ambitious journey to create the ultimate strategy experience for the Warhammer 40,000 universe - one that will grow over time into a sprawling galactic battlefield, packed with iconic heroes, fearsome war machines, and richly-realized worlds.

Key Features:

  • Command Four Iconic Factions: Lead campaigns across the galaxy with the Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks, and Aeldari, each offering a radically distinct playstyle across campaign and battle. Whether you favour tactical precision, brute force, barbaric aggression, or psychic finesse, your choice shapes every moment of war.
  • Wage War On A Galactic Scale: Crusade across a galactic sandbox - capturing planets, upgrading fleets, and managing your war economy as you carve a path to dominance. Conquer worlds, bombard enemies from orbit, and command cinematic real-time battles over planetary strongholds. And when all else fails… unleash apocalyptic weaponry to eradicate entire planets!
  • Engage In Devastating Combat: Command armies in brutal tactical battles across war-torn worlds with destructible terrain and diverse biomes. Deploy elite squads, devastating war machines, and unleash powerful strategic abilities that reshape the battlefield.
  • Customise Your War Machine: For the first time in Total War, forge an army that’s truly your own. Shape every detail from the faction’s title, heraldry, iconography and arcane wargear. Define their traits, sharpen their tactics, and unleash a signature style of destruction that leaves a scar upon the galaxy.

These features offer just a preview of what’s to come, with even more exciting details set to be unveiled throughout the marketing campaign. 

Game Director, Attila Mohacsi, had this to say:

WARHAMMER 40,000 is a science-fantasy setting without equal. Its galactic scale, iconic factions, and brutal battles have contributed to a universe that gels perfectly with Total War’s DNA. We’ve worked with Games Workshop for over 15 years and can’t wait to continue that partnership with the aim of creating the definitive Warhammer 40,000 strategy experience just like we did with the Total War: Warhammer series.”
