Become the Storm, or Stand Against It — Total War: ATTILA returns to macOS on July 2nd

Following on from ROME II’s successful return to macOS, a new, darker chapter of history is about to unfold...

Total War: ATTILA arrives on modern Macs for the first time on July 2nd!

Against a foreboding backdrop of famine, disease and war, a new power rises from the great steppes of the East with a million horsemen at his back. The ultimate warrior king approaches, and his sights are set on Rome…

Experience Total War’s signature blend of turn-based grand strategy and spectacular real-time tactical battles as a crumbling Roman Empire makes its desperate last stand. Or, become the storm and wage a campaign of terror and destruction to usher in the Dark Ages.

Unique mechanics make ATTILA’s campaign map more dynamic than ever, with the rise of Nomadic peoples able to abandon their homes to find greener pastures and greater plunder in faraway lands — leaving entire settlements levelled in their wake.

This new port for macOS comes with native Apple Silicon support, improved performance and UI scaling. Existing owners of ATTILA on Steam can access the Mac version free of charge on release day. All eight DLC packs will also be available for purchase, expanding the Campaigns and playable Culture roster from day one.
