In line with the game’s mythological inspiration, Homeric heroes like Achilles, Ajax the Great and Hector of Troy will fight alongside your armies. Like in past Total War games, you’ll be able to manage your faction on a strategic map and then fight real-time battles that feature hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual warriors. Total War Saga: Troy takes place during the Trojan War.

'Making it available for free, for everyone to keep, during the first 24 hours – wouldn't have been possible without this deal,' it said. The developer went on to say it doesn't plan to make any of its future games Epic Games Store exclusives but noted it couldn't have made Troy free without Epic's help. 'As a business that means putting Total War onto new platforms so that it can reach more players.' 'As developers we truly value our existing fans, but at the same time we want to reach new audiences and have as many people as possible experiencing the thrill of Total War for themselves,' the studio said. It will then make its way to Steam 12 months later on August 13th, 2021.Ĭreative Assembly said it sees the promotion as a way to introduce new players to its long-running grand strategy franchise, which can be intimidating if you've not played it before. However, in the first 24 hours that it's available, you'll be able to download and keep the title for free. When Total War Saga: Troy, the studio's next game, comes out on August 13th, it will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year.

Epic Games Store exclusively is a touchy subject for some PC gamers, but developer Creative Assembly may have found a way to make the best of a potentially divisive situation.
