The Creative Assembly have revealed another Total War game during The Game Awards 2025. Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is the 4th entry in the Total War: Warhammer series of strategy games. You can check out the announcement trailer below:
There is currently no firm release date for Total War: Warhammer 40,000, but you can wishlist it on Steam if that’s your thing. Seeing how the trailer features in-game action and the announcement trailer for Total War: Medieval III doesn’t, I think it’s more likely Warhammer 40k will release first.
Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is a strategy game currently in development at The Creative Assembly.
The Creative Assembly have revealed that work on Total War: Medieval III is now underway.
The 3rd entry in the Total War: Medieval series has been a long time coming, with Medieval II first releasing back in November 2006. You can check out the live action reveal trailer via the embed below:
Total War: Medieval III currently has no set release date. As it is currently in early development it may be some time before we hear more on the title. The game is being developed by The Creative Assembly.
The Immortal Empires DLC from Total War: Warhammer III is becoming backwards compatible for owners of either Total War: Warhammer and Total War: Warhammer II.
This expansion was already aimed at fans of the first two games, offering players a massive campaign map to play on using every faction from every game. Now the Immortal Empires experience is freely available to anyone who owns the first two Total War: Warhammer games. It will appear in your library as Total War: Warhammer III – Immortal Empires regardless of which Total War: Warhammer game you own.
You can check out the announcement trailer below:
Immortal Empires for Total War: Warhammer 1&2 is now available for free to owners of either game on PC.
The Creative Assembly have revealed a brand new expansion for Total War: Warhammer III is due to launch in Summer 2026 called Lords of the End Times. You can watch the cinematic reveal trailer below:
A more detailed in-game look at the Lords of the End Times campaign has also been uploaded in a separate ‘Campaign Fly Over’ video which you can view here:
Total War: Warhammer III is out now for PCs, originally releasing in February 2022. The Lords of the End Times expansion will be added in Summer 2026.
During a recent Q&A session, SEGA executives have admitted that they will use AI to assist game development but only in ‘appropriate use cases’.
SEGA execs have said, “rather than fully following the trend toward the large-scale development, we will also pursue efficiency improvements, such as leveraging AI. However, as AI adoption can face strong resistance in creative areas such as character creation, we will proceed by carefully assessing appropriate use cases, such as streamlining development processes.”
This is incredibly disappointing news as the use of generative AI is essentially admitting to art theft. Generative AI models are trained on existing artwork created by human beings and as a result it is an extremely abusive method of repurposing the work of others. AI is also harmful to the environment as it requires enormous amounts of electricity and water to cool the systems.
SEGADriven supports all human craft that goes into creative endeavours and firmly objects to the use of AI in creative spaces. Steam currently makes developers declare whether their games have made use of AI in its development which allows consumers to make informed purchasing decisions. Epic Games’s CEO Tim Sweeney has argued that developers should not need to disclose their use of AI as Steam’s system encourages “cancel campaigns” and “review bombing”. This is true, but it also disregards the fact that generative AI models are built on the theft of artwork from human artists. Real people make games; not machines. It is insulting that CEOs continue to lay off development staff in favour of using environmentally destructive methods that put talented people out of work and destroy their livelihoods. This all happens while generative AI models filter all human creative endeavours through an ugly, soulless meat-grinder that will inevitably make all games look and sound the same. Generative AI has no use in creative spaces other than to make human art redundant, which is a gross misunderstanding of what art is.
SEGADriven will continue to highlight any use of generative AI that SEGA use in their games to allow our readers to make informed decisions about the software they purchase. This will continue until SEGA reverse their decision to use generative AI in assisting game development.
The Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration DLC for Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac is now available. The DLC pack includes a 3 act stage based on Green Hill Zone, a Sonic costume for Pac-Man to wear, and 20 in-game Sonic figurines that can be obtained through virtual capsule toys. You can check out the launch trailer below:
Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac is an enhanced remake of Pac-Man World 2 developed by Now Production. It is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch and Switch 2.
SEGA have revealed 4 new characters for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are due to be added for free in the coming months. NiGHTS will join the roster in December 2025, AiAi will be added in January 2026, and both Tangle and Whisper will be added in February 2026.

The SpongeBob SquarePants DLC pack for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds has also been given a release date of November 19th 2025. You can see a daft little trailer for that here:
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, Switch 2 and PC. The game was developed by Sonic Team.
An early prototype of an unreleased Mega Drive RTS game developed by SEGA Technical Institute has now been preserved thanks to the efforts of STI artist Craig Stitt and the Hidden Palace team. This early prototype build of the game is from December 1991 and was reportedly shelved due to Mark Cerny wanting developers to focus on character-driven titles.
At Limited Run Games’s LRG3 2025 online showcase, the publisher has revealed they are remastering and re-releasing a whole bunch of SEGA games.
FMV games Slam City Featuring Scotty Pippen and Prize Fighter are receiving HD remasters based on their original video files. Slam City is now subtitled the Respect Edition and Prize Fighter is now subtitled the Heavyweight Edition. Both titles are being developed by Screaming Villains who have previously remastered Night Trap and Double Switch. Prize Fighter: Heavyweight Edition will be made available on PS4 and PS5, while Slam City: Respect Edition will be made available on Switch, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5.
In addition to these remasters, an Earnest Evans collection is collecting the Mega CD games Earnest Evans and Anetto Futatabi (now translated as Annet Returns) together with the Mega Drive game El Viento to create the Earnest Evans Collection. The collection is being developed by Edia who have been previously responsible for the Valis: Fantasm Soldier collections. This collection will release on PC, Switch, PS4 and PS5.
You can check out the full LRG3 2025 showcase video below which features the announcements for all of these titles.
There are no firm release dates for any of these titles, but Limited Run promises they will be coming in 2026.
