Yesterday Creative Assembly announced thatexpansion and patch support for Total War: Three Kingdoms would cease, two years (and a week) since release.

While this isn’t as unprecedented as it seems, it certainly took us – and the Total War community at large – a bit by surprise. We’ve seen a lot of confusion and disappointment over the decision, something that hasn’t been helped by the slightly vaguedev diary đoạn clip released yesterday.

Looking at Reddit alone, there are several threads you can read where Total War fans have been voicing their concerns. On Steam, Total War: Three Kingdoms has received nearly 1,500 negative review over the past 24 hours alone. One main point of contention is the expectation that a future Three Kingdoms DLC would have expanded the northern areas of the maps to include the ‘northern tribes’, in a similar way to how the Nanman were introduced into the strategy trò chơi via the Furious Wild expansion.

Creative Assembly has hintedin the past that the north is an area it would like to expand on, but now it seems this is no longer true. A request for phản hồi fromthe studio specifically on this issue was declined.

Confusion over what the studio is actually saying with regards lớn this decision has also since been clarified by members of Total War’s community team. Creative Assembly’s lead community và social truyền thông media manager Grace Carroll confirmed on the Total War subreddit that Three Kingdoms would not be following the Total War: Warhammer model.

There wasn’t much else she could say, as elsewhere Carroll stated that the new trò chơi probably wouldn’t be discussed in detail until next year. She did generallyconfirmthough that the studio wanted to go in a “different direction” with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms subject matter, which is why a new standalone trò chơi is being developed instead.

If you look back at the history of tư vấn for Total War games across the last decade, you tend to lớn see a concentration of expansions & patches for the two years following launch. Total War: Warhammer 1 was replaced by Warhammer 2 roughly two years later, & Total War: Atilla stopped getting support about a year after launch.

But on the flipside, you have games lượt thích Warhammer 2, which by the time it’s eventually replaced by Warhammer 3 will have enjoyed a (roughly) four-year run. Total War: Rome 2 got more DLC three years after DLC stopped originally, and was being supported five years after release.

Total War: Three Kingdoms ended up with six premium add-ons (seven if you count the blood pack), & it seems there was a plan for more. Plans change, but we can’t help but wonder if something hasn’t gone according to lớn plan for the studio lớn be so willing to lớn shut the doors this soon.
