Total War: Arena Returns With New Alpha
Sega-owned developer Creative Assembly first unveiled Total War: Arena back in 2013, and the game even went into beta at one point that year, but it wasn't officially released.
The game is a 10 v 10 free-to-play multiplayer strategy game, with each player controlling three units of soldiers led by an iconic warrior from history such as Alexander the Great.

Our Take
It seems strange that the game was pulled back from its beta after being announced, but kudos to Creative Assembly for not rushing the game out and instead garnering more feedback through its development stages.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
