Sega-owned games studio Creative Assembly has said that it wants to do more to address its growing Total War audience in China.

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, the developer's new director Gareth Edmondson (pictured) said that there's a strong interest in the strategy IP in the region and that it is looking to make more content for last year's Total War: Three Kingdoms. That entry in the franchise visited an iconic period in Chinese history and went on to become the fastest-selling entry in the Total War series to date. The title also attracted a lot of new players to the strategy IP. 

In August 2019, Creative Assembly signed a partnership with Chinese games firm NetEase to release its games in the region. Previously, they have been available in the country on Steam.

"Total War has had a strong following in China, which has really grown over the last five years, and we've certainly been looking at ways we can more directly reach out to those players. Total War: Three Kingdoms gave us that opportunity, and we absolutely want to build on that. That means more content specifically for Three Kingdoms, but also working with NetEase to bring more of Total War directly to market in China. It's an exciting opportunity to grow our player base, but of course it is very much part of our wider global strategy."
