Total War: Rome II Announced by Sega

[Shawn Zipay]

While I never got into any of the Total War games, I know countless people out there have. So, it should be great news for you to hear that Sega is working on Total War: Rome II, due out in 2013!

Encompassing one of the best-known periods in world history, Total War: Rome II will combine the most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game.

Total War: Rome II will sink players into the dangerous political machinations of Rome's senate, while asking them to struggle with family dilemmas and question the loyalty of 'friends' and allies. Leading the greatest army ever seen into battle will be just one challenge players will face at the head of the world's first superpower.

Will they help forge an empire? Restore the Republic? Or grasp the reins of power for themselves, and assume the hated title of tyrant? Who will they conquer? Who will they betray? Who will they sacrifice?

How far will they go for Rome?

A number of sites already have hands-on impressions of the title. Check out various written previews and video previews at Shacknews, IGN, CVG, RPS, and PC Gamer.

Nice. While it is a good game, I don't particularly enjoy the Japanese setting of Shogun.

I will be stopping at Shogun. I figure I went full circle on this brand and unless there is something really awesome, Im done.

Yep I understand the feeling. The TW I enjoyed the most was MTW2 because it was the first TW I played so much (I did play some Shogun/M1/Rome before). After you have played some TW games for hundreds of hours you need more than some minors additions to reignite the desire to play. And I'm not too fond on PVP on this series so I guess I lose some replay value.
