“In the Middle Ages, the law was written with the sword… and thrones were legitimized with blood.”
In 2002, following the legendary success of Shogun, Creative Assembly plunged players into the darkest, bloodiest, and most epic period of human history: the Middle Ages.
Where Crusaders swept in from the West, kings rode from the East, and whispers of demons echoed within silent cathedrals.
You Are Not a King… You Are the Fate of a Continent
In Medieval: Total War, you don’t just build armies—you control religion, politics, warfare, and rebellions.
From Jihad to Crusades, from the Holy Roman Empire to the Abbasid Caliphate, it is you who shapes the destiny of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

A Harsh, Mysterious, and Brutal World
Medieval: Total War is more than a game—it is a complete re-creation of the Dark Ages.
Wars roar with blood and screams, betrayals unfold under the cover of night, and knights fight to their last breath for honor.
Why Medieval: Total War Is Unforgettable
For the first time, players were immersed in a historical era where every decision could alter the faith of a nation or extinguish a dynasty.
Every kingdom you built either ascended to glory… or fell into the inferno of power.
