Hey everyone, Leif here, Creative Director on MEDIEVAL III. I'm sure we all have our "origin story" of how we became fans of this franchise. For me, it was writing and reading "After Action Reports" on TWCenter back in the day. I always felt like Total War shines the most when it works as a powerful story generator. We all love the strategy in it, the tactics, going through the details of leading a realm. But it really comes together when the game tells awesome stories. These stories exist in a variety of forms; from retelling history and reliving pivotal moments, to diverging from history and telling your own story. Your own timeline where your realm took over the Mediterranean. Memories of the great generals and politicians, key decisions made and fates being changed.

With MEDIEVAL III, we want to push this further than ever before. Our guiding motto is "Rewrite History." We want to create the ultimate medieval sandbox where the outset is defined by impeccable authenticity, but from there, the story is yours to tell. We want to empower you to do this in more meaningful ways than ever before, leaving less to pure "head canon," and instead giving you more ways to influence the world, while also creating greater opportunity for how the world will speak back to you and react to your actions.
