Sega has today announced that fast growing studio The Creative Assembly is expanding further, specifically with a view to exploring new platforms in the mobile sphere. A new Total War Digital team has been created with the aim of developing games for handheld devices.
"Total War Battles is a distinct new direction," said Rob Bartholomew, Brand Director at The Creative Assembly. "For the last 12 months our Digital team has been extensively prototyping technology and making sense of exactly what a Total War game on mobile would look and feel like."
Renaud Charpentier, the Lead Designer on the new Total War Digital team, said: "This isn't the traditional Total War you might expect. We are working on a title that is specifically tailored to the play styles and control methods of mobile platforms. We want to deliver a game that plays to the strengths of handheld RTS mechanics, and perfectly adapts to a host of different platforms."
Expect further announcements and more details soon.
