Creative Assembly faces backlash over decision to end support for Total War: Three Kingdoms
Creative Assembly is facing a vociferous backlash over its decision to end support for Total War: Three Kingdoms.
This week the British developer announced it had wrapped up work on Total War: Three Kingdoms with the 1.7.1 patch. No more DLC or patches will be released for the game, which broke series records upon launch in May 2019.
Total War: Three Kingdoms saw seven DLC releases over the course of two years, but many fans feel Creative Assembly quit the game too early – and before the release of a promised expansion that would build out the north of the map.
As it announced the end for Total War: Three Kingdoms, Creative Assembly said the development team had transitioned onto another project based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. But the developer failed to offer any more detail on this mysterious new project other than to say in a comment on its YouTube video message to fans that it will not connect to the first game.
