The Medieval series is one of the most cherished chapters in Total War’s history, and creating a true successor is a g…

- Total War Empire just got a colossal new DLC with 44 factions, but not for PC - 19 September 2025
Total War: Empire is one of the most beloved entries in the long-running series, boasting a Metacritic review average of 90% and becoming its fastest-selling launch back in 2009. To this day, we still rank it among our best Total War games . Now, it's just been given a whole new lease on life with the launch of massive expansion A New World, which unlocks 44 more playable factions, 14 extra ships, and a range of additional campaign features. There's just one problem: it's been made specifically for the mobile edition of Total War: Empire, meaning PC players have no way to grab this latest DLC. Read the rest of the story...

- Join us for the Total War 25th anniversary celebrations - 12 June 2025
Hey Total War fans, 25 years ago, in a small one room office just down the road from where I write this message, Total War was born. The vision was rooted in a love for both history and strategy gaming, with the aim of seamlessly mixing the best parts of grand strategy and real-time tactical battles into a single experience where you truly felt like the commander of a vast empire. During those early years Total War’s identity formed. The team were focused on authentic recreations of the most pivotal moments in human history from the Age of Antiquity through to the emergence of the great naval empires. As the genre evolved and our teams changed, we expanded into new territory by leaping into the fantastical; meticulously recreating Games Workshop’s iconic Warhammer World as a truly unique strategy experience. There have been triumphs and tribulations throughout the years, and we’re honou…
- Campaign multiplayer beta now unlocked for all players - 16 January 2025
Greetings commanders, We've pushed out a small update to Total War: EMPIRE today which unlocks the campaign multiplayer beta for all owners of the game. Previously, in order to access the campaign multiplayer beta you were required to request a code from SEGA Customer Support, but this is no longer the case. We still receive requests for Total War: EMPIRE multiplayer beta access codes on a regular basis, and thought the best solution was to open this up to all of you without need for any extra hassle. We hope you enjoy! See you on the battlefield. —The Total War Team For the latest news and announcements, don't forget to visit our official social channels.

- Small update to Total War: EMPIRE - 25 April 2023
Greetings commanders, We've pushed out a small update to Total War: EMPIRE which addresses crashes with 12th gen Intel CPUs, while also removing integrated chat from the game. Read on for full details: Due to difficulties supporting and moderating dated chat systems in the current online environment, we’ve taken steps to remove the integrated chat from Total War: Empire and other legacy titles in our catalogue. We are, however, continuing to investigate ways to properly implement and support chat in our future projects and will keep you updated on any changes or developments we make. In the meantime, we encourage you to make use of the official Total War Discord server as a free chat and voice option, or to use one of the many third-party programs available to communicate with your teammates. In addition to this change, we’ve updated the game to better use of modern architecture, which…
- The best Empire: Total War mods - 11 August 2021
Let's take a look at some Empire: Total War mods. It's over ten years old now and Empire was never the most popular Total War game , so the scene is quite mature and in some respects, sparse. That doesn't mean there aren't some excellent choices with which to spruce up the vanilla experience, however, some of which are still being maintained today. Empire: Total War kicked off the modern era for the series with shiny new 3D graphics, a new updated engine, and an advanced time period set during the Age of Colonisation and the truly 'global' setting. It's still fondly remembered by many, even if it was a bit of a technical mess on launch, and is often overlooked for its more targeted cousin in Napoleon: Total War. Empire: Total War was also the first Total War game to introduce tactical naval combat, something that is considered one of the better aspects of the game. While there's plenty…
- Total War fans are celebrating Empire: Total War's glorious naval battles - 9 June 2021
Empire: Total War (now Total War: Empire ) was released in the distant past of 2009 and as far as Total War games go, it doesn't get a lot of attention these days. Empire was important for a few reasons: it was the first Total War game to use a modern-looking 3D engine, and was the first game to feature dedicated 3D naval battles. It was also the first to fully embrace firearms. Despite some impressive milestones, Empire: Total War received a mixed reception. Critics generally praised it - I remember giving it high marks at the time myself - but fans were more critical. It offered unprecedented strategic breadth and made great strides for strategy games at the time, but it was also unpolished in many places. The AI was also quite subpar, as it found naval invasions problematic. It was eventually succeeded by 2010's Napoleon: Total War, which sacrificed Empire's global strategy for a mor…

That’s a tidy little gift from developers Creative Assembly, and gets a total phwoar from me.
