  • Creative Assembly announced today that A Total War Saga: Troy is set to release on August 13, 2020.
  • The game will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year.

A Total War Saga: Troy is the next Saga game in the long-running Total War franchise. These Saga games are smaller in scale, focusing on a particular critical timeframe in history. Today, the developers at Creative Assembly shared the news that A Total War Saga: Troy is aiming to release on August 13, exclusively on the Epic Games Store.

When it is released, it'll be free for one day. If you grab it in that time period, you'll get to keep it forever. It'll be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year. Creative Assembly also explained that this would not affect future Total War games, which may release on the Epic Games Store but will not be exclusive.

You can take a look at the in-engine trailer below, giving a run-down of the infamous events leading to the war between the Trojans and the Greeks.

In the meanwhile, if you're looking for something more fantasy-oriented, a new DLC pack has been released for Total War: Warhammer II, bringing impressive new units for the Greenskins and High Elves.

Total War: Warhammer III is likely the next game coming after A Total War Saga: Troy but there's been no official announcements made yet.
