Explained simply
Total War is a strategy game series made by British studio Creative Assembly. Its games combine managing an empire and its armies with battles fought on a detailed battlefield.
Warhammer 40,000 is a science-fiction setting created by Games Workshop, known for its tabletop war game and stories of conflict across a distant future. The new game brings that setting together with the Total War approach to strategy; it is a forthcoming title, so it has yet to be released.
Gamescom is a major annual video games fair in Cologne, Germany, where developers and publishers present games. Awards at the event offer recognition from the show, while the game’s wider reception will become clearer as more details and reviews emerge.
