Is there any realistic chance that Creative Assembly & Games Workshop introduce their own "Grand Narrative" style event to TW40K in the future? Would that even be something people want?
Just curious 🤷 this is my repost from somewhere else, didn't realize this sub was already made lol.
Is there any precedent for that kind of thing in the Total War Fantasy franchise? I'm not familiar with its history.
I already know GW has a history with narrative driven tournaments via tabletop, and Battlefleet: Gothic (I think??). It just seemed like something that wouldn't be out of the realm of realistic BUT OBVIOUSLY LONG TERM, NOT RELEASED ON LAUNCH goals for the game. I'm not thinking a narrative as lore changing as the 13th crusade, though perhaps something with a similar format?? Where they compare Total war games and Battle Fleet Gothic (or some other game IDK) to each other and see who wins.
Though just using the game + tabletop could be interesting as well and may be easier, I was just thinking using two videogames together.
Especially if there's success similar to SM2, it could be an avenue for GW to guide more casual Warhammer fans into the GW space. If video-gamers were able to conceivably change the setting in some miniscule fashion, I'm sure they'd be more willing to wanna pick up lore books and perhaps codexes for tabletop.
I ask if people would want it, because it would take a lot of investment and maybe could be too taxing for an experiment like total war 40k
