The God-Emperor will not lack soldiers: over 1 million gamers added Total War: Warhammer 40,000 to their wish list
The new game in the Total War franchise is a Warhammer 40,000 strategy — an announcement trailer presented at TGA 2025 was the real-time strategy Total War: Warhammer 40,000 from the British studio Creative Assembly, which had previously released successful games based on the fantasy version of Warhammer.
It was obvious that fans of this universe and RTS enthusiasts would show great interest in the novelty, and now we have confirmation of this.
What is known
The developers reported that in a month, over 1 million Steam users added Total War: Warhammer 40,000 to their wish list, effectively confirming their intention to buy the game.
