Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia Download PC

Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia is a strategy video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega, released on 3 May 2018 for Microsoft Windows. The game was brought to MacOS and Linux by Feral Interactive on 24 May 201 and 7 June 2018 respectively. It is the twelfth game in the Total War series of video games.

The game is set in the British Isles, 878 AD. There are ten playable factions, including Wessex, Mercia, Circenn, Mide, Gwined, and the Danelaw.

Gameplay

Like its predecessors, the game is both a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics game. The game takes places on the islands of Britain and Ireland after Alfred the Great defeated the Viking invaders. Players assume control of various factions including Vikings, Gaelic clans and Anglo-Saxons, and compete against each other to be the new king. In the game, players command different military units and move them around the map. They can also fund research for new projects, recruit and manage new characters for their cause, and engage in diplomacy with other factions.

Development

Thrones of Britannia is the first game in the Total War Saga series, which was developed by Creative Assembly to be a shorter but more focused Total War game by focusing on a particular time period in history instead of being era-spanning. According to Mike Simpson, the series director, the Saga series aims at "putting defined geographical areas under the microscope" with a "strong cultural focus and flavour". Initially the game was set to be released on 19 April 2018, but Creative Assembly delayed the game's launch to 3 May 2018 in order to have extra time for polishing the game.
