AI Summary

Total War developer Creative Assembly is preparing to launch Total War: Warhammer 40,000 on consoles, a move that challenges the long‑standing belief that real‑time strategy games cannot be played effectively with a controller. Dave Petry, the studio’s battle product owner, told TechRadar at Gamescom that the myth of controller incompatibility is false and that the team has created a system that “really does work.” He added that the studio has “landed something that really does work,” suggesting confidence in the console experience. The announcement follows a history where RTS titles have largely remained a mouse‑and‑keyboard domain, with only a few console‑specific games such as Herzog Zwei and Halo Wars.
