I'm not familiar with Total War games so I'm not sure why it's not a traditional RTS nor why it would devour another RTS if it isn't in the same genre? Also which "more traditional 40k RTS" does he fear will be devoured by Total War 40k? Dawn of War 4? | ||

Either way, what we can see so far looks good imo. Carefully hyped here. On December 15 2025 02:24 Miragee wrote: Sorry, I wasn't specific enough.

Total War definitely has a large overlap with the RTS community, especially TW Warhammer, which I assume will have largely the same fanbase as the upcoming TW: WH40k. So yeah, these games might cannibalize each other if they get released in the same timeframe, which would be a shame. | ||

So yeah, these games might cannibalize each other if they get released in the same timeframe, which would be a shame. I think they'll be different enough. I suspect that DoW will attract more of the multi-player crowd while TW series cater more to lengthy solo sessions (there is a competitive multiplayer community there but it isn't very large and mp isn't really the core focus of the game). TW multiplayer format is also vastly different from traditional RTS, there are no bases, you pick your whole army before the battle and that's what you use. | ||

Which is quite similar to table top Warhammer where you pick your army and then fight with it. | ||

But at the same time it's very different from a more "traditional" RTS where you build up your forces gradually, have to think about economy and tech tree etc. In TW you just set up your army and fight. There are of course different modes, in some of those you have a pool of reinforcements that you can pull stuff from by expending resources you gain during battle but it's still mostly just battle. | ||
