Sega Announces Total War: Rome II – Emperor Edition
Sega and Creative Assembly are giving the 2013 strategy title a definitive second release, complete with a new campaign pack and other under-the-hood improvements.
According to the press release, Emperor Edition comes with Imperator Augustus, a new campaign pack expansion that has players settling a civil war between would-be emperors Octavian, Marc Antony, and Lepidus. This edition also features improvements to the politics, building, and battles.
If you already own Total War: Rome II, you can look forward to getting all of these Emperor Edition perks for free via automatic update in September.
Our Take:
Total War: Rome II isn't the best game in the series, but it is still a fun strategy experience (read our review here). Giving it to current players for free is a great gesture, and it continues Creative Assemby's pattern of adding extra content to the game without charging.
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.
