Strategy games don't come much bigger than the Total War franchise, and the Warhammer trilogy showed how well the formula worked in a fantasy setting. Now, after three hits in collaboration with Games Workshop, studio Creative Assembly is embracing a grimdark futuristic setting with Total War: Warhammer 40,000.Warhammer 40K is the most famous miniature wargame in the world, with nearly 40 years of legacy behind it. In fact, the 11th edition of the game will be released in June 2026. There have been plenty of Warhammer 40K video games in that time, but nothing quite on the scale that 'Total War: Warhammer 40,000' promises.In the 41st millennium, the Imperium of Man is besieged by extraterrestrial forces of all sorts and even darker threats, but humanity's defenders are brutal and relentless, too. We covered the basics of the 40K universe while back, but all you really need to know is that 40K's future is defined by a mixture of sci-fi and dark fantasy, colloquelly know as "grimdark".Now that you're suitably prepared, scroll down and learn everything we know about Total War: Warhammer 40,000 so far (and we'll be keeping this page updated as new info drops).When is Total War: Warhammer 40,000 coming out?
