Creative Assembly And NetEase Will Bring "Total War" Series To China

Today it was announced that Creative Assembly has partnered with NetEase to bring their Total War series to China in the future. NetEase has secured the rights to publish the entire series, including the latest release Total War: Three Kingdoms. No official date has been put on when these games will come out, but we're guessing it'll be sometime around the holiday season. This also includes the new collectible card game, Total War: Elysium, which will be aiming for an initial release on PC and mobile in China. Here are a few quotes from this morning's announcement.
