It’s been too long since we last got our teeth stuck into a Total War game and Sega knows it. Luckily though, rather than teasing us with expansions and crummy console ports the publisher has decided to stay true to the franchise. Empire should be the same hardcore PC strategy game we all know and love.
That’s not to say that this will be the same as previous Total War games however, oh no. The setting for Empire has been pulled up out of the swords and shields rut it’s been stuck in for the last few titles, dumping players in the 18th century instead.
This change in era opens up all manner of different gameplay devices for players – with rifle warfare and naval battles stepping into the forefront as major new additions to the series.
On top of that Creative Assembly is giving the series a total 3D makeover and making everything prettier than ever – sending swathes of men to their doom has never looked so good.
Expected to be out early in February, Empire: Total War is sure to be a high point on the calendars of RTS fans (Harry) – but you can check out our hands-on Empire: Total War preview for more information.
