Neither seems preferable to simply extending the current game. How is this new ROTTK game going to deal with the campaign map? Are we getting a reskin like Total War: Attila’s Age of Charlemagne or Rome II’s Empire Divided, or will it be more like Total War: Warhammer’s DLC mini-campaigns with different maps? But that raises more questions than it answers.
We know that this new game is standalone and that it “will not connect to the first” as Total War: Warhammer II does through Mortal Empires. What we lack is context: If we knew what Three Kingdoms’ future is being traded for, we might feel differently At least Mount Song and the Hulao Pass were put in the right place. Suddenly declaring that the team has “completed content for Total War: Three Kingdoms” suggests that something changed quite dramatically in the time since. First, we know Creative Assembly planned a second expansion pack for Three Kingdoms after The Furious Wild that was meant to build out the north of the map – it was mentioned in a dev blog in July 2020. I don’t mean that as a disparagement of the game’s quality, but there are at least two things the game hasn’t done yet. There’s only one problem with all of this: Three Kingdoms isn’t finished. The video also explained that Three Kingdoms is now “finished”, the team is looking to the future, and that work has begun on a new strategy game also based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. This short three-minute clip bade farewell to the game, showcasing footage from across the game’s lifecycle to sweeping dramatic music, and rounding up some fun player stats. Last week Creative Assembly posted a video entitled ‘The future of Total War: Three Kingdoms’.
