Start for freeHello, everyone, and welcome back to a thrilling update in the world of Total War Pharaoh. As Nathan from the Great Book of Grudges hinted, the game is set to receive a transformation it rightfully deserves, marking a significant extension of Creative Assembly's commitment to enhancing the game experience post-launch. This move comes after some initial hiccups surrounding the game's launch, but it's clear that the team is on a path to redemption by expanding the game's scope to an unprecedented level. Let's dive into what's in store for Total War Pharaoh and why this update is a game-changer for fans of the series.
A New Chapter Begins
In January, the Total War Pharaoh team launched the 'High Tide' update, introducing the Sea Peoples as a new playable culture. This update was a part of Creative Assembly's post-launch ambitions to craft a vast Bronze Age strategy experience. The positive reception from the community was overwhelming, signaling a strong appetite for more content and deeper gameplay mechanics.
Expanding Horizons
Today, we stand on the brink of an even more ambitious update. The upcoming free update promises to significantly rework the existing campaign mode, introducing new regions like Mesopotamia and the Aegean, alongside the cultures of Babylon, Assyria, Mitanni, and Troy. This expansion not only increases the size of the map but also brings over 80 new units for the Mesopotamian factions, along with more than 70 reworked units from A Total War Saga: Troy.
Key Features to Anticipate:
-
Increased Campaign Map Size: Prepare to embark on conquests across newly added regions, offering fresh strategic challenges and opportunities.
-
New Playable Cultures and Units: The addition of Babylon, Assyria, Mitanni, and Troy, along with over 150 new and reworked units, enriches the game's diversity and strategic depth.
-
Dynasty System: A new mechanic that adds layers of complexity to the game, introducing mortality and succession challenges for faction leaders.
Community and Transparency
Creative Assembly is keen on improving its level of transparency and fostering a stronger development-community collaboration. Starting next week, the team will kick off a series of discussions about the creation of this update, inviting feedback and questions from the community. This initiative is a part of their broader effort to bring the long-lost world of the Bronze Age to life in a manner that resonates with the players.
Looking Forward
This update marks a pivotal moment for Total War Pharaoh, transforming it into a game that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of its player base. The expansion into Mesopotamia and the introduction of new cultures and mechanics are set to provide a richer, more immersive experience. As we await more details in the coming weeks, the anticipation and excitement within the community are palpable.
Creative Assembly's apology tour seems to have morphed into a victory lap, as they continue to deliver on their promises and take Total War Pharaoh to new heights.
