Total War: Attila

The number of warring nations of Total War: Attila has increased by one: the Sassanid Empire of Persia claims a stake in the Roman/barbarian conflict. The red horse featured in a new trailer is a symbol of power among the Sassanid forces.

Creative Assembly’s latest strategy title is centered around the conflict between the Roman Empire and the Huns, but the Sassanid Empire of the Dark Ages exploits the confusion surrounding the conflict for military advantage. Leading any of the game’s numerous armies means, among other concerns, quelling mutinies to avoid civil war and ensure unity among your forces. The trailer below depicts the Sassanid army entering the stage of war.

Total War: Attila is out on PC on February 17, 2015. Find out more about the game’s pre-order information and warring nations in this preview.
