Finally: TW Star Wars….!

[Kilo_60]

Strategy game specialist Creative Assembly is reportedly working on a Total War Star Wars video game. DualShockers reports Total War: Star Wars is one of three new Total War games in development at the Sega-owned studio

[Kilo_60]

Should be interesting!

[Testikles]

"One of the three new projects is EXPECTED to be a Star Wars-themed Total War"

"DualShockers has learned"

"Reportedly"

"allegedly"

We had way too many "leaks" and "confirmations" in the last years, including a "WW I TW which will release VERY SOON (tm)" and the "Lords of Shang-Yang DLC which will be next for TW:WH III!!!".

If there is one thing we can take away from this: Do not believe anything until CA themselves are making an announcement. Way too much clickbait regarding the future of the franchise otherwise.

Mmmh, meh.
Not a big fan tbh.
I like SW strategy games, EaW if I recall correctly is a good game.
But that’s gonna drain so much of their development potential, I fear WH40k (or SWTW, or both) will suffer from a lack of focus.
So easy to mess up with 2 massive projects, they already messed up quite a lot with WH fantasy TW in the past, so…
But yeah, we’ll see… 😒

I agree. Don't believe leakers or influencers. Nothing is true until you hear it from the devs themselves.

[kilen]

Would feel it as a relief if suddenly CA announced it’s just a rumour, like just saying they just won’t do it.
I want WH40k, most & foremost, and better than the trilogy we’ve got.
I would really feel reassured if it wasn’t true, frankly.
SWTW would be cool, but not both together, that’s a recipe for a disaster imo.
Hopefully it’s just a rumour…

[Raider Deci]

Leaks & rumors are borderline useless and should not be treated as actual information. Until something is actually shown its ideas and hearsay at best.
They might explore the idea in a conceptual stage only to throw it in the can later, hardly unusual.

[milehigh026]

WH40k is just as much a rumor as anything else at this point. As was said earlier, until CA puts out an official statement then it's all speculation and hearsay.

[Apocaleptic]

IMO star wars appeals to more consumers while its also gonna let them dip their toes into "space stuff" before making 40k

Think about it! Star Wars TW would be the biggest seller in the whole Total War Series....

The SW franchise is HUGE and has tons of fans!

If they could pull it off a SWTW game would be pure gold to the shareholders of CA and probably be the biggest money maker in TW History!

After-all... Money Talks!

I'd very much doubt that to be honest. Star Wars as a franchise has only been going down hill for the last decade. It's not the golden goose it use to be. I very much doubt it would do better than Warhammer but we will see.

There's still a rabid fan base!

Here is a wild idea that I personally hope the devs follow; "Make a game you want to make and are passionate about"
Shareholders that have no interest in the actual game will problaby love your idea though

Warhammer's no different. The version of Warhammer this game's based on was straightup canceled because it wasn't selling anymore, even before the company started treating their customers like ass like with their hyperaggressive BS copyright claim policy. As long as there are fanbases on reddit that only care about muh heckin skaven dont exist memes or muh heckin star destroyers and lightsabers the quality of the source material isn't going to matter for sales, they're gonna buy it, and Star Wars has infinitely more brandname power than Warhammer anyway.

Honestly I don’t care, plenty of strategy games studios out there ready to do a partnership with Disney for SW.
For me SW is crap since Disney bought it from G Lucas early 2010’s.
Except maybe some of the anime series like Clone Wars, Bad batch, SW rebels & stuffs, the rest, SPECIALLY the movies since are just crap.
So I don’t care, 40K has a much thicker lore and complexity, SW is much more naive and child oriented than 40k, and as they already did WH fantasy they have all the tools and expertise they need to make 40k TW right after WH3TW is over.

Who needs SWTW anyway ?
Empire at war is a great game very similar.
Disney should just partner with that studio to do a EaW2, that would the best solution.
Cuz it’s a great strategy game despite it’s getting old.
There is far enough to do with 40k TW for CA to not get involved in both, which could lead to 2 mediocre or unfinished IPs that would just compete with one another.
It’s dum, let’s focus on what’s work, and that is by far TWWH3 now & since years for CA, it’s their primary milking cow.
The natural evolution to that is naturally 40k TW,
SW is just something else and it’s much less appealing than 40k as soon as you know the lore between both.
So no, sry friend, even if the rumours are flowing about SWTW, it’s a terrible idea compared to double down on what is already working for CA, which is warhammer and the partnership they have with Games Workshop.

But hey, am just a fan since many years of warhammer lore(s) & TW franchise, what do I know ?
Surely some management big brain gonna see it very differently, or will not see the danger trying to do both franchises in parallel and risk of failing with both cuz of that, etc.
If it’s not just a rumour ofc…
In anycases, SWTW is not a good idea.
WH40k TW is a much better choice, SW can GTFO, you won’t make me change my mind on that, sry.

[Kilo_60]

Yes, I'd take TW40k over SWTW any day but the SW fan base is Huge and would probably be the better option for CA/SEGA if they care about sales volume!
