Total Wardeveloper Creative Assembly has already partnered with Games Workshop to createWarhammer-themedentries in its long-running RTS series, with the latest being 2022’sTotal War: Warhammer 3. Now, it’s been claimed it will be doing the same forStar Wars.
According to aDualShockersreport, Creative Assembly allegedly has three unannouncedTotal Warprojects in development; one of which is an officially licensedStar Warsgame. That’s all the info DualShockers had to say about it, but VGC’s Andy Robinson did suggeston Twitterlast year that a newStar WarsRTS was in development at a “big name developer.” In the wake of DualShockers’ report, he’s since tweeted, “you may stop asking now.”
Star Warswould be perfect for theTotal Warformula. I can easily see such a game taking place in any era of the franchise, allowing you to command troops across a variety of planets or partake in space battles between huge fleets of ships. The franchise is no stranger to the genre either, with 2006’sStar Wars: Empire at Warstill fondly remembered by fans.
Not to mention, Bit Reactor is meant to be working on its ownStar WarsRTS in conjunction withStar Wars Jedi: Survivordeveloper Respawn. Publisher EA didcancel anotherStar WarsprojectRespawn was working on earlier this year amid layoffs, but Bit Reactor assured ina Twitter postits game had been unaffected.
Hopefully, if this report is accurate, fans won’t need to wait too long for Creative Assembly to make a formal announcement. TheTotal Wargames are typically annual releases so we are due for a new entry to be confirmed for 2024. Publisher Sega will also be part ofSummer Game Fest in June; perhaps a newTotal Warwill be revealed next month? However, there’s nothing to indicate how far along this supposedStar Warsgame is in development, and since Creative Assembly allegedly has two otherTotal Wargames in the pipeline, we may not see it for another few years.
