SEGA heeft de releasedatum van de volgende real time strategy-game Total War: Pharaoh bekendgemaakt. Ook is er een 8 minuten durende nieuwe trailer uitgebracht waar we meer te zien krijgen over één van de grote maps uit de game.
Zoals de naam al doet aangeven, draait deze game om het oude Egypte waar jij in de schoenen staat van de Farao, Jij moet alles doen om jouw land die zwaar bedreigd wordt te beschermen. De game bevat real time combat, base building, weereffecten die invloed hebben op gameplay en een uitgebreide story mode.
Dit zijn de key features van de game volgens ontwikkelaar Creative Assembly:
- Experience Dynamic Battles – Enemy armies aren’t the only challenges to overcome on the battlefield. Lead your soldiers through sudden and dramatic shifts in weather, such as torrential rain and sandstorms, and witness the tides of battle turn as it directly impacts the surrounding terrain. Beware the threat of fire too, as battles can become engulfed in flames, striking and spreading across the battlefield as it burns forests and damages the foundations of enemy settlements.
- Choose Your Leader – Prove your legitimacy to become Pharaoh, or Great King of the Hittites, and expand your growing empire on a campaign map that spans the rich cultural hubs of Egypt, Canaan and Anatolia. With a choice of eight Faction Leaders, step into their unique playstyles and take charge of diverse unit rosters. Whether you’re charming the courts as a peerless diplomat, charging into battle as an unwavering commander or causing chaos as a fearless warlord, become a leader that history will remember.
- Unearth Ancient Egypt – On your journey to becoming Pharaoh, uncover a beautifully lush and vibrant recreation of Ancient Egypt at the height of its power. From the fertile banks of the river Nile to the windswept, arid deserts of the Sinai Peninsula and the mountainous crags of ancient Anatolia, this magnificent visual reimagining brings the beauty and brutality of Egypt’s most tumultuous era to life.
- Customize Your Campaign – With a brand-new Campaign Customization feature, no two campaigns will ever feel the same. Determine how you play with an extended range of campaign customization options, such as random starting positions for all factions, detailed resource settings, the ability to toy with natural disasters and much more. With an abundance of options, stack the odds against yourself for an added challenge or become an unmatched power to breeze your way to victory.
