    This is wild to me. I follow CA as a big fan of the Total War series. This game always seemed like a terrible idea so this at least saves CA the embarrassment.

        Another title trying to cash in on the "multiplayer extraction shooter" craze. Not really something that felt to me like it was in Creative Assembly's wheelhouse, so it's probably a mixed blessing...

          Yeah either you need to bring something new or be first and their lazy attempt at nostalgia didn't seem like it be that something new.

    Wow, this game looked absolutely awful when it was announced, but I'm surprised it never actually made it to a release

      Same, especially since they just recently ran a closed Beta. They were obviously close to launching.

    Looks like nothing of value was lost. The game looked pretty awful. Sometimes it's better to just cut your losses instead of throwing good money after bad.
