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.
