In short Creative Assembly and their publisher SEGA have teamed up with Games Workshop to create new Warhammer games. Please note, Warhammer, not Warhammer 40,000 - that one is still held by THQ and Relic entertainment.

Is this good news? Creative Assembly is responsible for the Shogun and Total War series of games, so I'd like to think, yes.

Winnie, if you could, please shout this out loud to the rest of the world?

It is isn't it? I'm curious to see how they will go about this, as they have so far only done games with a strong historical background, so letting them have a go at a high fantasy setting will be an interesting process to say the least.

Wonderful! Lets hope they make something as fun as any of the Total War games.

well they will no doubt have an Art Lead taken externally from either GW or someone close (or at the very least, given access to a lot of the Design Teams concept work to work from). its been years since i played shogun (probs the last of their games i played) but even then it was a strong game, im not normally optimistic about "big name games" anymore but damn it im looking forward to seeing the design process in this biggrin

There have been total conversion mods for the Total War games in the past for Warhammer Fantasy. A few have been rather well done, showing what can be done with their engine and programming with a few modifications. I'm excited to see what they are able to pull off in house, though.

And as far as THQ/Relic holding the WH40k license, there are good odds that THQ will go under in the near future. They've been cutting employees left and right. Hopefully, Relic will be able to scoop the license out from underneath anyone that tries to poach it off of THQ.
