SEGA and Creative Assembly's next project is Total War: Warhammer

Ttotal War Center.net user StormOfRazors spotted a quote in the new The Art of Total War book from CA's Mike Simpson, where he writes the studio is "taking the series to a fantasy setting with Total War: Warhammer."No more information's been released at this time, but we've reached out to SEGA to see if the company's prepared to officially announce the title now the cat's out of the bag.This isn't a hugely surprising development seeing as Creative Assembly signed a deal with Games Workshop to make titles set in the Warhammer universe way back in 2012. Studio director at the time, Tim Heaton, promised Creative Assembly would "be doing the Warhammer universe justice in a way that has never been attempted before."In the meantime, the next entry in the long-running strategy series is set to be Total War: Attila, which focuses on one of history’s greatest bogeymen, Attila the Hun. Due out next month, DLC and pre-order bonuses were recently revealed.
