It comes as little surprise then to see CA begin to make more efforts to court Chinese fans, announcing a partnership with NetEase to re-publish the entire Total War back catalogue, a new game in the form of Total War: Elysium, and the resurrection of the canned Total War: Arena.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>NetEase is a huge Chinese online services company whose partnership will help Creative Assembly navigate the treacherous waters of trying to release games in China. For one thing, you can\u2019t even publish a game in China without a Chinese publishing partner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>So, NetEase will be helping CA with the whole shebang, starting with bringing the Total War historical back-catalogue to China, which is pretty much self-explanatory. This is all off CA\u2019s older titles rejigged for a Chinese audience. Simple.<\/p>\n<p>Next up is Total War: Elysium. A completely new project, this is a Total War-themed collectible card game. We should imagine long-time Total War fans won\u2019t be overly enamoured by this as it\u2019s clearly not in the spirit of what\u2019s come before from the franchise. Reading between the lines, it doesn\u2019t even sound as if Total War: Elysium is even planned to release outside of China for a fair while. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s slated to launch in China first,\u201d <\/em>explains CA, <em>\u201cwhere CCGs are particularly popular and NetEase has some extensive experience, but we hope to bring it to players worldwide before too long.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>And, last but not least, Total War: Arena is back. This free-to-play spin on Total War made it to beta testing but was then shut down in February of this year. It\u2019s been given a second chance to survive now, although Arena will be returning as a China-exclusive title.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how all this affects every one of us that isn\u2019t in China, well, Creative Assembly says it\u2019ll just be business as usual. They claim this partnership won\u2019t affect their roadmap whatsoever so we can only assume they\u2019re hiring up to support the publishing deal. For the neat future then, expect all sorts of additional content and expansions for Total War: Three Kingdoms, as well as the eventual announcement of Total War: Warhammer 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2308,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[471,473,472,470,346],"class_list":["post-2307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-announce","tag-assembly","tag-creative","tag-total","tag-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
