More frustratingly, it gives no indication of exactly where such a game would be set. The term "Medieval" (officially covering around 500 to 1500 AD) is immensely broad in its scope and could mean anything from the fall of Rome to the decline of Feudalism and the birth of the Early Modern world. Unfortunately, the listing doesn't reveal much else. However, a file for a patent doesn't necessarily indicate any immediate intention to act. A filing at the UK's Intellectual Property Office on behalf of Creative Assembly early in 2021 called Total War: Medieval is a strong indication that the developers are working on a new title.

With a sequel to Three Kingdoms already in development, it seems inevitable that the series will return to its historical roots. Warhammer III marked the conclusion of a fantastic trilogy, and it's likely that Creative Assembly and Sega are looking to take things back to their roots in a bid to reconnect with old heads and introduce newer players to the elements that made Total War so popular in the first place.
The question now is where the series goes next. The past five years alone have seen the release of five Total War games, and while not all have been mainline titles, few could argue that the British developer has been slack in churning out high-quality content. Whereas once releases were few and far between, now it seems as though the series' output has never been higher. The introduction of Warhammer to the franchise was certainly a risk, but it's one that has paid off for Creative Assembly's previously historically focused military sim. This comes as the UK's Ministry of Defence tweeted that fighting in eastern Ukraine will intensify over the next few weeks.Total War is as big as it's ever been. "And already at that time it meant that it was necessary to react to the Russian aggression much harsher and faster." He said: "I would like to remind world leaders that the possible use of chemical weapons by the Russian military has already been discussed. In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia could use outlawed chemical weapons, but did not say that they had already been used. "Any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict and we will hold Putin and his regime to account." We are working urgently with partners to verify details. She tweeted: "Reports that Russian forces may have used chemical agents in an attack on the people of Mariupol. The Foreign Secretary said that the Government is "working urgently" to verify the details, adding that if it is found to be true it would be a "callous escalation" of the war. Liz Truss has vowed to "hold Putin and his regime to account" following unconfirmed reports that chemical weapons were used in an attack on the people of the besieged city of Mariupol.
Medvedchuk is - or was - Ukraine's foremost pro-Kremlin politician. You can even wear a Ukrainian military uniform for camouflage… But will it help you escape punishment? Not at all! Shackles are waiting for you." Journalist Luke Harding wrote: "This will further infuriate Vladimir Putin.
The Official Twitter of the Security Service of Ukraine wrote: "You can be a pro-Russian politician and work for the aggressor state for years. He was put under house arrest three days after Russia invaded Ukraine but swiftly escaped and has been on the run until today's announcement. Mr Medvedchuk is the leader of the Opposition Platform for Life, Ukraine’s biggest opposition party and in March the party was suspended by President Zelensky for its links to Russia. Putin is godfather to Mr Medvedchuk's daughter and is one of his closest allies. On his official Telegram account, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a picture of oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk in handcuffs.
