Total War: Warhammer breaks series records

Creative Assembly’s latest strategy release has broken a Total War sales record.

Total War: Warhammer, published by Sega, has since its release earlier this week racked up sales of over half a million units, making it the fastest ever selling title in the franchise.

Total War: Warhammer has already proven itself as a runaway commercial success and more importantly we know our players are really enjoying the game,” studio director Tim Heaton said. We have been regularly topping 100k concurrent players.

The team paid particular attention to stability and performance throughout the game’s development and thoroughly enjoyed creating new ways to play Total War within Games Workshop’s stunning Warhammer Fantasy world. We’re very proud of it, and it’s wonderful to see the game receiving such a great reception from critics, Total War veterans and new players alike.”
