Strategy game Total War: Warhammer, which is still not called Total Warhammer, is the fastest-selling Total War game ever.

"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," commented studio director Tim Heaton.

"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."

Chris really enjoyed the game. "We've spent years talking about these two franchises coming together," he said in Eurogamer's Total War: Warhammer review. "We've known it could be the perfect crossover, if handled correctly, and Creative Assembly has done an exceptional job here."
