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.

Hotseats & Halberds Update for Total War: MEDIEVAL II Out Now!

EMPIRE may be the most recent entry in the Total War series to have landed on mobile, but that doesn’t mean Total War: MEDIEVAL II should be forgotten. On the contrary, Feral’s armourers have been toiling at the forge, hammering out a comprehensive patch, and today we’re excited to release the Hotseats & Halberds Update!

On the Hotseat side of today’s patch, the asynchronous multiplayer of desktop Kingdoms makes a triumphant return in a new and improved form. Owners of Kingdoms on mobile can now play hotseat mode on the Kingdoms campaigns, and the Grand Campaign of the base game for the very first time!

And, it’s not just Halberds that are feeling the love… The other half of the update introduces a massive assortment of balance updates to different units — most notably, a new Cohesion mechanic ensuring that Pikemen formations perform more reliably.

A full breakdown of the Hotseats & Halberds can be found on our blog, as well as a mammoth list of all the changes. But, if you’ve already read enough, charge to the app store of your choice and update today!

The Hotseats & Halberds Update — Coming Soon to Total War: MEDIEVAL II on iOS & Android

The Hotseats & Halberds Update will be dropping on the 19th of June and we’ll be covering all the content in not one, but two blog posts (did we mention it was a big one?).

The update’s name hides some pretty large clues as to its content, so head to our social channels to share your speculation, and keep your eyes on our news feed where we’ll be spilling the beans in the coming days.
