Creative Assembly just announced a new badge for a new class of historical Total War games.
These will launch under the badge of “A Total War Saga” and will be a spinoff series that has games release before the next historical game in the franchise. Read about the new badge from Jack Lusted, who is directing the new Total War Saga game here.
This set of games will be similar in scope to Fall of The Samurai which was a standalone followup to Shogun II. You can watch a live stream at 3 PM with Jack Lusted on Twitch discussing this as well.
