Total War: Warhammer 40,000 is set to launch with four initial factions: Space Marines, Orks, Astra Militarum, and Aeldari. However, the developer Creative Assembly has announced an ambitious plan to include nearly every faction from the Warhammer 40,000 universe over the next decade. This strategy was revealed during The Game Awards, where a trailer showcased both cinematic and gameplay elements. Creative Assembly's goal is to create a vast galactic sandbox where fans can engage with their favorite factions as they gradually introduce more, including popular ones like Necrons, Tyranids, and Chaos Space Marines.

In a year-end message, VP Roger Collum outlined the long-term vision for the game, emphasizing that while the immediate release will be limited, the developer is committed to adding more options consistently. Creative Assembly will likely apply a similar model to this title as it has with other Total War: Warhammer games, which continue to receive updates years after their launch, indicating that fans can look forward to substantial content additions.
