Sega and developer Creative Assembly announced today that Total War: Warhammer III has been delayed from its previously planned late 2021 release window to early 2022.
Total War: Warhammer III will be available for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The reason for the delay is that the developer needed more time with the game.
Find below the full message, via its Chief Product Officer, Rob Bartholomew, in regards to Total War: Warhammer III delayed announcement:
With nearly a decade of development on the Total War: Warhammer trilogy behind us, it feels surreal to see its culminating chapter so close to release. While it’s tempting to rush to the finish line as it comes into view, we have made the decision to give it a little more time by moving the launch of Total War: Warhammer III from 2021 to early 2022.
The wait won’t be much longer, and we’ll have plenty of new information for you in the meantime. The new date will make for a stronger release and the best first step into a new era for Total War: Warhammer. We don’t consider this release the end of our trilogy, but the start of years of content and support as we continue to bring the jaw-dropping scale of Games Workshop’s fantasy universe to Total War.
Thanks for your patience and support.
Rob Bartholomew
Chief Product Officer
