Development

According to Roger Collum, the vice-president of the franchise, the team recognized strong fan demand for a sequel to Medieval 2: Total War (2006). While the team had made at least three attempts at greenlighting the game, they backed off developing it until the creation of Warcore, a new engine designed to modernise animation, rendering, and campaign systems. Medieval III was positioned by the team as a reboot for the historical Total War games. [1] [2]

Creative Assembly announced the game on 4 December 2025, stating that Medieval III aims to serve as a historically grounded sandbox set during the Middle Ages, allowing players to follow or diverge from historical events. According to game director Pawel Wojs, the title is in early pre-production and is expected to undergo a multi-year development cycle with periodic communication to the community. [3]
