Longboats and Cutthroats
Sega and Creative Assembly have unveiled the first game in theTotal War Sagaseries, a spin-off brand from the popularTotal Warepic strategy titles.
Total War Saga: Thrones of Britanniawill see players engage in feudal combat in Britain circa 878AD. Among the ten playable factions fighting for dominance will be Gaelic warriors, Nordic vikings and the Anglo-Saxons, all thirsty to put an axe in their fellow mans fo’head.
TheSagabrand is being reserved for games that contain more than enough content to justify being standalone releases, but won’t quite span fulltime eras or feature the depth ofTotal War’smainline titles, such asRomeorAtilla, instead choosing to focus on “distinct moments”.
Thrones of Britanniais currently only scheduled for PC release. The first game in this interesting looking spin-off series is yet to be priced, or receive a release date other than “2018”, so it looks like strategy fans have plenty of time to get that battle-axe sharpened.
