The Creative Assembly har avslørt sitt neste Total War-spill. Selv om rykter har snakket om en frittstående utvidelse eller en større DLC-pakke, står Total War: Attila helt fint på egne ben og regnes som et helt nytt tilskudd i den langtlevende serien.
Total War: Attila, som forventes en slippdato i 2015, lar spilleren se hendelsene som ledet til Romerrikets fall fra år 395 e.Kr. og fremover. Det loves bedre brukergrensesnitt, dypere mekanikker med gjeninnføring av blant annet familietreet, religion, helse og katastrofale klimaendringer. Utviklerne beskriver selv Total War: Attila som følger:
APOCALYPTIC DESTRUCTION MECHANICS
Wield the ferocious power of fire in battle to set buildings ablaze and terrify defenders, or wipe entire cities and regions from the face of the campaign map with the new raze mechanic.
LEGENDARY START POSITION
Playing as the Western Roman Empire you will begin with vast territories under your control, but weakened by political in-fighting and threatened on all sides by enemies, your dominance will quickly become a struggle to survive.
OVERHAULED GAME MECHANICS
Improved core gameplay and UI through the latest optimised and modified Total War game mechanics, including politics, family tree, civic management and technological progression.
INCREDIBLE PERIOD DETAIL
With new period-specific technologies, arms and armaments, religion, cultures and social upheaval, Total War: ATTILA delivers an authentic experience of this ominous chapter of our history.
OUTSTANDING VISUAL FIDELITY
Improvements and optimisations to both campaign and battle visuals create a chilling vision of a looming apocalypse and the ruin of the civilized world. With breath-taking scale, atmosphere and improved graphical performance, witness the end of days and the rise of legend.
