Summary

  • July 23 at 11:30 p.m. KST, Creative Assembly will stream a live gameplay demo for Total War: Warhammer 40K centered on ranged combat mechanics.
  • The broadcast follows the game's December 2025 reveal and a Dec. 16 developer roundtable that outlined four factions — Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Orks and Aeldari.
  • Shanghai's Bilibili World on July 10-12 already gave fans a first public look at combat footage, showing Astra Militarum fighting Orks on-site.
  • Gamescom 2026, opening Aug. 24 in Cologne, is also on the studio's schedule, pointing to a broader summer information rollout for the RTS.
