Sega have confirmed that Total War: Rome II is currently being developed by Creative Assembly and will be out sometime in 2013.
The sequel to the 2004 hit strategy game will aim to be the biggest and most expansive game in the series, with a “turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game.”
“Our games have always encompassed a grand vision,” said creative director Mike Simpson. “But we’re now pushing that vision at both ends of the spectrum. From the immense reach of the sandbox campaign right down to the human-level drama of a single warrior on the battlefield, we’re aiming for an unprecedented level of detail and scale”.
The recent lack of strategy games is looking to be rectified with Starcraft II’s upcoming expansion Heart of the Swarm, Company of Heroes 2, a new Command & Conquer being developed by Bioware (Mass Effect, Dragon Age), and now a new Total War entry on the horizon.
