As the great rise, the greatest shall fall — Total War: PHARAOH out now on the Mac App Store

Total War: PHARAOH — the latest entry in Creative Assembly’s renowned historical strategy series has arrived on the Mac App Store!

The old Pharaoh is dead and Egypt awaits a new monarch. The battle for the throne is about to begin...

The cataclysmic events of the Bronze Age Collapse have brought a magnificent civilisation to the brink of civil war, and for those who covet the Pharaoh’s throne — bloody conflict is inevitable.

PHARAOH’s campaign sees ambitious claimants fight to conquer, defend and develop the eastern Mediterranean’s most coveted cultural centres — consolidating power in the face of chaos and calamity. A brand-new, extensive Campaign Customisation feature means no two campaigns will ever feel the same, with options including random starting positions for all factions, detailed resource settings, and the ability to influence natural disasters.

And, with dynamic weather effects and wildfires having the potential to turn the tide of real-time battles, the path to Pharaoh’s crown is alluring but perilous.

The Mac App Store release also includes the free High Tide update, introducing two new Sea People factions — putting you in command of the Bronze Age Collapse.

Will you relive, or rewrite ancient history? Head to the Mac App Store and grab Total War: PHARAOH today for $39.99 / £29.99 / €39,99.

Hit After Hit — Hitman: Absolution Brings the Heat to iOS & Android this Autumn; Nintendo Switch releases to follow

Branded a traitor and hunted by the Agency he once served, Agent 47 returns to iOS and Android this autumn in Hitman: Absolution.

Building on the success of 2023’s Blood Money — Reprisal, Absolution is the compelling next installment, shining a spotlight on Agent 47’s character and revealing that he is more than just a number.

Stealth meets modernised combat to make ‘going loud’ as satisfying as keeping to the shadows — turning each of Absolution’s 20 missions into an assassin’s playground. Sleek touch controls offer 47’s trademark precision, and, for the full AAA experience on the go, gamepad and keyboard and mouse are fully supported.

Following the mobile release, Hitman: Absolution will arrive on Nintendo Switch in late 2025, with native Switch 2 support to follow in 2026. More details on the Switch versions will be revealed later this year.

So, suit up, straighten your tie and prepare to step back into the highly polished shoes of Agent 47 — pre-order today from the App Store for $14.99 / £9.99 / €12,49 (regional prices may vary), or pre-register on Google Play.
