There is no official word on it. It also seems unlikely since it was planned to be a trilogy from the beginning (from before game 1).

No the Contract with Games Workshops ends when Warhammer 3's Support ends.

Technically this is possible. In fact, at the moment the series ends with game 3. In general, GW is updating the old world, which could be another franchise, but it is unlikely to be connected with the current trilogy. It's also important that in game 3 the developer had an absolute failure and a catastrophic shipwreck, so it's doubtful that most fans will want to support new projects.

Id like to point out that im guessing GW takes a huge cut of profiits. Making Warhammer less profitable for the company compared to their other games due to GW being such a terrible company.

It was presented as a trilogy since day 1.

A TWWH4 will not happen.

You *might* get a further warhammer game - possibly an 'ultimate collection' or something - but it would not be labeled Warhammer 4, certainly.

it was always going to be 3 games
the world is complete, all the factions are there
what would you even ask for in a 4th game

perhaps they mean to suggest that 4 would take place in a diff...age...of...fantasy warfare, right

Unless this " Total War: Warhammer 4" is "Total War Warhammer: 40k", no.

Contracts can be changed, so that in itself isn't set in stone for that reason. But it probably won't change, no.

the world is 100% not complete. there are factions within the current map that are not in like ind, araby and others. the warhammer world is BIGGER than our world. we dont have japan which is an obvious one but there is alot going on in the Americas that has not been fleshed out. So we have whole continents not on the map so there is more that can be done.

It’s literally just a boiling hell storm ocean to the west of lustria and dark dark elf lands. Ya got ind, kuresh, Araby and Nippon in lore not represented in this game and guess throw a bone to southern beastmen offshoots but really beyond that all sub cultures like fimir(mostly extinct in lore pretty sure), halflings(only really in one part of empire, tho sure there’s few here and there all over given their wanderlust nature, but not enough warrant any kind of military presence) etc and all potentially stuff could be added to existing map with dlc. There is no real reason for a fourth game therefore. Also, like even kislev and Cathay kinda fishing around bottom of barrel for faction ideas when comes to precedent with what this game supposed to be (a digital representation of Warhammer Fantasy Battles), far as actual army books I can think of, got Dogs of War(Tilea really)left and that’s about it.

Aye, they´re not done with game 3 for starters, anything that´s left for a hypothetical 4th game would be almost entirely made up from snippets of flavor text and single paragraphs of inconsequential lore.
Not to mention how unstable and clunky the game already is, you wanna duct tape a 4th game to this struggling behemoth? Naa, I´m good.

And if the 4th game were to be set in a different, independent setting or to be a remake, they wouldn´t make it a 4th game, they´d make it game 1 of something different.
It´d give them a chance to start fresh from scratch without the legacy spaghetti code that long projects like this accumulate.
Hey, maybe even give it a new souped up engine!

Ya exactly. Anything, related, to Warhammer Fantasy Battles likely be diff, or new ip and I’d imagine on upgraded or entirely new engine eventually given prob couple years at least left for dlc cycle with 3.

Except all those things are pretty minor, and were just fluff anyway. Every single tabletop faction has been released, and all the minor fluff that's left can either be added (e.g. Ind, Kuresh), largely irrelevant, or in some cases (Araby, and Albion) don't have any room to be added because their land was given to someone else which are needed for balance (Tomb King and Brettonia in Araby's case and Be'lakor for Albion.) Though I wills say, replacing those Brettonian minor factions on the Arabayan coast, isolating Repance and putting her behind enemy lines, and making her look like some mad crusader does sound appealing.
