Ladies and gents, buckle up for another thrilling jaunt into the past with ‘Total War: Pharaoh,’ the brand spanking new instalment of SEGA Europe and Creative Assembly’s award-winning strategy franchise. Scheduled to hit the market this coming October 2023, the title is now available for pre-order. Not only do pre-orders give you a chance to mark your calendar, but they also throw in exclusive cosmetic packs and a golden ticket to an early access weekend.
‘Total War: Pharaoh’ propels players into the whirlwind events of the Egyptian New Kingdom era. You’ll find yourself at the centre of three significant cultures on the precipice of the catastrophic Bronze-Age Collapse.
“There are few periods more iconic than Ancient Egypt; fraught with political intrigue, cataclysmic events and grand war campaigns, it’s the perfect setting for a Total War title,” said Game Director, Todor Nikolov. “As Pharaoh, you must save Egypt from the cusp of destruction and guide your people through the calamitous Bronze-Age collapse. It is up to you to either survive or fade into history.”
You’re not just a bystander here, oh no! You’ve got to step up and don the mantle of the Pharaoh, guiding your people through the calamitous collapse. Your leadership could mean the difference between a thriving civilisation and becoming a mere footnote in history.
And the title brings a rich buffet of gameplay options. With eight Faction Leaders from three distinct cultural hubs, you can shape the way you rule. You might be a skilled diplomat wooing the court, a daring commander leading the charge in battle, or a fearless warlord spreading chaos – the choice is yours.
The game not only promises a compelling narrative but also brings to life a gorgeous, vibrant recreation of Ancient Egypt at its peak. From the lush banks of the Nile to the arid Sinai deserts and the craggy heights of ancient Anatolia, you’ll be immersed in Egypt’s beauty and brutality.
Get ready for epic, dynamic battles, where the weather might just be a foe or a friend. Brace for sudden thunderstorms and raging sandstorms that can turn the tides of your battles. And don’t forget the fiery threat; your battlefield could quickly become a blazing inferno.
What’s more, the game introduces a new Campaign Customisation feature, guaranteeing no two campaigns will ever be the same. Set your own unique challenges or breeze your way to victory; the choice is yours.
Fancy diving in early? Pre-order now and score yourself some impressive early-adopter bonuses, including an early-access weekend and exclusive cosmetic packs. You can pre-order from the Total War: Pharaoh store, Epic Game Store * and Steam Store today.
