The Total War saga is on the verge of entering a new era.

The ambition of this new technical foundation not only aims to create more vibrant and responsive gameplay but also to make the series more accessible to new players.

The most exciting news for console users is that Warcore opens the door to something that seemed impossible until now: future Total War games will arrive on Xbox and PlayStation, expanding the strategic scope of the saga beyond PC for the first time. Creative Assembly explains that the engine is designed to evolve over time and adapt to diverse hardware, ensuring that the strategic experience maintains its identity even outside of the keyboard and mouse.

Warcore is born as the most advanced technological foundation the franchise has ever had. Creative Assembly highlights that it offers a set of tools that allows for more dynamic battles, more immersive worlds, and a more responsive system to the player’s decisions. Additionally, it is prepared to incorporate new features over the next few years, ensuring that the saga will continue to grow without sacrificing its essence.

But the biggest innovation is its multi-platform capability. According to the studio, Warcore is designed to allow future Total War games to run natively on consoles like Xbox Series, a move that marks a before and after for one of the most important strategic IPs in the industry. This will enable new players to discover the characteristic mix of management, campaign, and massive tactical real-time battles.
