Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 release date

Is Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000 releasing in 2027?

The announced release window is 2027. SEGA lists a planned release year, not a specific day or month. [source][source][source][source]

Yes: 2027 is the announced target year. Creative Assembly’s August update and SEGA’s September announcements support that window. It remains a plan for a game in development, not a guarantee of a particular launch day.

Has an exact release date been announced?

No exact release date has been announced in the official sources checked on 22 September 2026. Steam still displays “To be announced”. [source][source][source]

A year and a day-level release date answer different questions. Steam’s TBA label does not cancel SEGA’s 2027 window; it means the store is not displaying a specific release date. These sources do not establish a month, quarter or day, so this guide has no countdown.

Confirmed platforms and store status

The announced platforms are PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. [source][source]

Platform confirmation is not a claim that pre-orders or downloads are live. Only Steam’s store status was checked directly here; Epic, PlayStation and Xbox entries reflect SEGA’s announcement, not a separate checkout or store-availability check.

Is the closed beta the full release?

No. The closed beta is a limited PC test through Steam, with selected content and participants. It is separate from the announced multi-platform launch.

The closed beta is PC-only through Steam. It includes part of the tutorial, two opening Space Marines campaigns, multiplayer and custom battles, and advanced customisation. [source]

Participants will be selected after survey responses are reviewed. Successful applicants will receive the test schedule and access instructions later. [source]

The 2027 window is for the game’s release. It does not set the beta start date. Read the closed beta status and eligibility briefing for the survey process and test scope.
