A Total War Saga: Troy delves deep into its 8 Hero characters

Sega and Creative Assembly have shared in-depth details about the various heroes of their upcoming strategy title A Total War Saga: Troy. Check out the two videos to learn more about the gameplay-altering perks and skills of the two factions!

The next installment of the historical strategy series Total War is inbound. Only a little more than a week until gamers can experience one of the most legendary adversaries in history between Troy and Mycenaean Greece.

Not only that, but you’ll be able to rewrite history to your liking and lead your favorite to victory. To achieve that players will have the choice between 8 distinct heroes from the period. And it’s far more than just visual flair here, as each hero favors and lends itself particularly well for a special kind of playstyle.

Want to win with pure diplomacy? Or rather use the economy to force your enemies on their knees? Of course, you can also declare all-out war or go for an impenetrable defensive tactic. All are accounted for here.

One great thing about A Total War Saga: Troy, the Epic Games Store will be giving the game for absolutely free during the first 24 hours of its launch. Mark your calendars and visit the game’s page on EGS to claim your copy.

A Total War Saga: Troy launches next week, August 13th for PC exclusively via Epic Games Store with a launch on Steam following in 2021.
