SEGA® Europe Limited and Creative Assembly™ Limited are proud to announce Total War™: PHARAOH, the next installment in the legendary strategy game series. Scheduled for release in October 2023, Total War: PHARAOH immerses you in the feverish era of the Egyptian New Kingdom: determine the destiny of three great cultures as you fight for survival in the midst of the Bronze Age’s collapse.
« Few historical periods are as iconic as ancient Egypt. Political intrigue, great disasters, warlike campaigns – it’s the perfect environment for a Total War game, » says the project’s Game Director Todor Nikolov. « As Pharaoh, you must save Egypt from destruction and lead your people through the troubled times of the Bronze Age collapse. It is up to you to survive or disappear in the twists and turns of history. »
FORGE YOUR DESTINY
The Pharaoh is dead, and the people of Egypt, Canaan, and the Hittite Empire are desperate for a new leader. Many covet the throne, but the path to the coronation is paved with danger. As the leader of one of these great nations, you must prevent the collapse of your society, deal with natural disasters, and fight to protect your people from invaders, some of whom come from far away.
Choose from eight Faction Leaders from three particularly rich cultural heritages: embrace their unique play styles and take command of their diverse, varied, and deadly units. Use diplomacy to push your own agenda, charge into the fray as a steadfast commander, or wreak havoc as a fearless warlord: become a leader that history will remember!
EXPERIENCE ANCIENT EGYPT
Your journey to become a Pharaoh will take you through a lush and beautiful recreation of ancient Egypt at the height of its power. From the fertile banks of the Nile to the arid, windswept desert of Sinai to the mountainous ridges of Anatolia: relive all the beauty and brutality of an essential era in human history.
DYNAMIC AND EPIC BATTLES
The enemy army is not your only opponent on the battlefield. Lead your soldiers through sudden and dramatic weather changes, from thunderstorms to sandstorms, as the course of the conflict directly affects the surrounding terrain. Beware of fire, which can spread across the battlefield to the point of engulfing nearby forests and camps. All of this will have a direct impact on the outcome of the conflict.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR CAMPAIGN AND PLAY YOUR WAY
The all-new Campaign Customization option constantly renews your gameplay experience. Choose how you want to play through the various criteria available, such as randomized starting positions for factions, special resource settings, or the frequency of natural disasters, among others. This abundance of options allows you to make your life easier, or on the contrary to put obstacles in your way to really challenge your warlord skills.
