Total War: Warhammer will now release on May 24, one month later than its previously announced April 28 date, SEGA and Creative Assembly have announced.

Here’s the reason for the delay, and it isn’t going to please fans:

“This could be the best Total War game we’ve ever made. We don’t want to rush it,” said Mike Simpson, creative director for Total War. “It’s an enormous game and we also want to make absolutely sure reviewers have enough time to play it thoroughly before launch.

“Many thanks to the huge number of people who have pre-ordered and are eagerly awaiting release day. We’re pulling out all the stops for you.”
