TOTAL WAR: Star Wars - soon?

[Jack Greedy]

I saw some leaks on some gaming pages that next TW may be Total War: Star Wars, what do You think bros?
Im dreaming about Warhammer 40K: Total War.
Maybe we get two titles? I saw in leaks that CA is working on 3 new titles.

Only once the engine updates so we can do the full proper Ride of the Rohirrim charge!

Will be very nice after they finish with TW warhammer go to lord of the rings, huge fan base there to expliot

Oh agreed and it would blow the old Battle for Middlearth games out of the water.

but its also another licence and a big one. IF they've already paid out for 40K and Starwars I can't see them having the licence cash for Lord of the Rings nor the time.
That said all 3 are utterly awesome series to work with

Will they treat space ship combat like they do with sea ships? How can there be land battles in the vacuum of space? Will there be a Star trek merging later on? For all the teleporting armies to planets?

Star trek would be more fun imho. Borg invasion endgame. Q messing with player. Kicking Federation butt with the Romulans... Take my cash!

An easy way to keep lore-friendly if they included space battles would be to simply have jump-lanes that ships move through. So they are never in deep space but always over or around a habitable area. You can then have a space fight outside of that or go into land fights.

That said I would suspect we end up with a "key world everyone is fighting over" situation rather than having space and multiple land battles ;but who knows. TW Warhammer showed that they are more than happy to create a LOT of land varieties even into full chaos worlds; so we could get whole different planets.

Could be cool, but Disney is not a fan of Legends...if they do this, they're almost certain to pick an era which supports their current cannon and media.

well they only have the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War that are fleshed out, High Republic, Filoni verse and Sequel Trilogy are barebones at the moment.

Not super relevant, but elsewhere on the interwebs, Disney's stupidity for abandoning the massive amount of legends content so that they could make their own inferior content is very much a topic of derision. Nevertheless, that is what they did...

plenty of us wanna star wars total war mate your just an entitled baby like half the total war neckbeards

[Jack Greedy]

Yep, this way or another it will be interesting to see how it works.

Frankly, the biggest problem may simply be that I can't see TWSW and TW40K coming out at the same time as standard titles. TW franchises are too expensive for people to buy two franchises at the same time that both have battling factions of aliens, troopers, and space wizards. Yes, they're very different underneath the surface, but I think they'd be creating two expensive to develop products that end up competing with each other.

Maybe the best outcome would be for 40K to be a normal TW sandbox game with a million factions and massive land battles, and SW to be a saga title with less factions, but bring back naval battles using fan-favorite capital ships that would get people excited. Then you'd have a reason to buy both and both CA and consumers wouldn't burn out on cost and similar gameplay.

Yes Alan, You are right but to be honest Total War series are the one for me to always spend money. To this very day i own all titles from the franchise including Rome Remastered and im playing them often if only have some free time.
It is one of gaming series that still represents soul of true games. Last time i played Rise of Samurai addon for Shogun 2 and have tons of fun.

I wish Total War series many succesful years of presence at our machines and hearts.
