After pack theirs Warhammer Trilogy in the blockbuster way everCreative Assembly just announced a brand new one Total war Game based on the stuff that gave the series its name: actual human history. And this time we’re going back to ancient Egypt.
The next game is called Total War: Pharaohand is set during the Bronze Age Collapse, a time just over 3000 years ago that saw the civilizations of the Middle East, North Africa and Europe very bad time.
Here is the game’s debut trailer:
Because that’s incredibly unrealistic Total war Details (and gameplay captures/footage), Visit the game’s Steam page (and this FAQ) for more information.. There appear to be eight leaders to choose from, ranging from Egyptians to Anatolians to Canaanites, as well as customizable campaign options like the ability to randomize starting locations.
Interestingly, it seems that despite the possibility of a supernatural mummy-Adjacent magic, this game plays it completely straight. This is the first time Total war did that in one long Time; The Warhammer Games were obviously full of wild shit, Troy leaned on mythology and even the last great historical publication, Three Kingdomshad some fantastic things.
That doesn’t mean it’s similar Effects will not be present here. Instead of magic changing the feel of a battle, pharaoh Introduces a more dynamic weather system to the game, where battles no longer take place under pre-determined conditions, instead things can change wildly in the middle of an encounter, as one minute the sun is shining and the next minute someone’s getting chopped up in the middle of one Sandstorm (the game will also have dynamic fires that can burn down cities in urban battles, and also torrential storms).
One big question left unanswered at the game’s reveal is: Exactly how big is it? The timing demands of the series have meant that this has been the case for the past decade Total war
only where pharaoh What’s in between is an important question, because the latter games — given the Saga label to indicate they were smaller titles — weren’t great and somehow poisoned that label as a selling point. However, even though this game is launching at full price (MSRP is $60), it seems… I don’t know, smaller in scale than a full game Total war were? Especially since only three factions are playable at the start (You can choose from four Egyptian leaders, two Hittites and two Canaanites).
We’ll find out soon enough; The game will be released on PC in October.
