Total War: Warhammer 40,000 Leak Spotted by Sharp-Eyed Fan Ahead of Game Awards Announcement

Creative Assembly is set to announce a new game in the Total War series during The Game Awards. Speculation suggests this title may focus on the Warhammer 40,000 universe. An observant fan on Reddit, known as Knavbot, spotted evidence of this potential project in a recent showcase livestream. The fan claims to have identified references to Warhammer 40,000 that were easy to overlook.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000 at The Game Awards

The Game Awards are expected to reveal a new installment in the Total War franchise. Many fans believe it will be titled Total War: Warhammer 40,000. This follows the developer’s successful adaptation of the fantasy version of Games Workshop’s setting with Total War: Warhammer.

Evidence from Creative Assembly’s Showcase

Knavbot discovered file names in Creative Assembly’s recent showcase, which aired alongside the announcement of Total War: Medieval 3. To find these details, the fan had to slow down a segment of the video significantly. At the 32:42 mark, three file names were identified:

40k_outfield_sheet_01_base_colour
40k_outfield_sheet_01_material_map
40k_outfield_sheet_01_normal

These references indicate possible development related to Warhammer 40,000, especially during a portion discussing Creative Assembly’s new game engine.

Game Release Platforms

If the game announcement is indeed for Total War: Warhammer 40,000, it is anticipated to be available on multiple platforms. This may include:

PC
PlayStation 5
Xbox Series X and S

Community Expectations and Leaks

Rumors and leaks surrounding Creative Assembly’s projects are not new. Fans of Warhammer 40,000 have regularly speculated about upcoming titles based on previous leaks. For instance, past leaks have come through file names revealed in promotional videos.

Interestingly, similar leaks recently occurred with other games. The appearance of a character in Dawn of War 4 was also disclosed via video file names. Such incidents raise questions about how intentional these leaks might be.

As fans await The Game Awards, the excitement surrounding Total War: Warhammer 40,000 continues to build. Whether this announcement will meet expectations remains to be seen.
