When will the next Total War era be revealed? Creative Assembly and SEGA have confirmed they're hard at work on the next installment of the critically acclaimed Total War franchise, with a full update slated for December 2025. The news first broke in the VGC report on Creative Assembly's plans, which teases a fresh "next era" that promises to shake up large-scale warfare once again. If you need a taste of the grand scale and immersive detail to come, you can revisit the spectacular Total War: PHARAOH announce trailer to whet your appetite for siege engines and pharaonic politics.
Which Total War game do you like the most? Whether you favor the medieval clashes of Total War: Medieval II or the sweeping campaigns of Total War: Warhammer, this new title is shaping up to respect the series' roots while pushing technical boundaries. Pre-orders and pre-loads are expected to go live immediately after the December reveal—just hop onto Steam or the SEGA store, hit "Reserve Now", and you'll be able to download the full game as soon as the servers open. Mark your calendars: once the post-reveal details drop in December 2025, you'll want to be ready to secure your copy.
What can players expect from Cronos: The New Dawn? Bloober Team has unleashed a chilling Gameplay Showcase on YouTube that highlights the survival horror elements at the heart of their next project. Slated for release in late 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, Cronos: The New Dawn puts you into the jet-black boots of a time-travelling operative sent to a mutated-plagued 1980s Poland. From rusted factories to overrun city streets, the demo footage teases tense combat, resource management, and soul-collecting mechanics that could redefine how we think about horror in open environments.
How to dive into post-apocalyptic Poland? When the full release rolls around, you'll be able to download Cronos: The New Dawn directly through your platform's digital storefront. On PC, keep an eye on Steam or the Epic Games Store for a "Pre-Purchase" button—this will let you preload the massive game files so you can launch immediately on day one. For console players, simply navigate to the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store, search "Cronos", and select "Pre-Order" to enable automatic download once the servers go live. For a deeper look at the lore and mechanics, check out the in-depth breakdown in IGN's feature, Cronos: The New Dawn Stars You as a Soul-Collecting Time Traveler.
When is Metal Gear Solid Delta hitting the shelves? Konami has locked in an August 28, 2025 launch date for Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, and alongside the single-player campaign comes a refreshed multiplayer suite code-named Fox Hunt. The announcement was broadcast during the KONAMI PRESS START 6.12.2025 showcase, and it follows PC Gamer's deep dive into the multiplayer vision: "Konami announces Metal Gear Delta will include a new multiplayer mode, but don't expect Metal Gear Online 4 because ‘the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot'".
What makes Fox Hunt stand out? Unlike the original Metal Gear Online, Fox Hunt will be rebuilt from the ground up with modern netcode, fresh maps inspired by Snake Eater's jungles, and objective-driven modes that reward stealth, tactics, and close-quarters CQC. Pre-load instructions mirror those of other digital titles: if you've pre-ordered on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or Steam, head to your library and hit "Pre-Load" once it's available to shave precious minutes off your launch day. Expect unique rewards—special stealth camo skins and mission tapes—when you log in during the first week.
