”Total War is the backbone of everything that we do. Fantastic team to work with, very deep… you’ve got people there who’ve been around through all of that franchise.

Creative Assembly have always had a console team - Viking: Battle for Asgard and Spartan: Total Warrior were both made at Creative Assembly’s UK office. The company even started out doing console ports for EA sports games, but lately their main ‘bread and butter’ has been the Total War franchise.
