Creative Assembly has announced the next game in the Total War series, and it sounds total..ly awesome.
Total War: Attila will have you controlling Attila the Hun, the famous ruler of the Hunnic Empire from 434 to 453 CE, right at the brink of the Dark Ages in Europe.
Janos Gaspar, project lead on Total War: Attila, had this to say about the game:
We’re reintroducing some features that fans have been asking for, such as family trees and skill trees, and improving many of the core aspects of Total War we know are important to them. But to really bring the period to life, we’re building on these foundations with many new strategic features for them to consider, such as advanced street-fighting, civilians, complete settlement destruction and dynamic fire that can rage across a city as armies clash. We want to push players to the limits of their skill to survive against the odds, and to love every minute of it.
Check out the CGI reveal trailer below, and some screenshots of the game in early development below the trailer. The developers are planning for a 2015 release on PC and Mac.
