Total War: Rome 2 owners granted early access to Total War: Arena

Those who purchase Total War: Rome 2 will receive "privileged" early access to Creative Assembly's free-to-play title Total War: Arena when it becomes available.

Creative Assembly first announced Arena at GDC in March. The free-to-play title features online multiplayer, mixing elements of RTS and MOBA gameplay as you play as history's greatest commanders, leading their armies in massive team-based battles.

In addition to the early access, exclusive in-game Legion Armoury bonuses and approximately $15 of in-game currency, Rome 2 players will automatically earn "Legion" status.

Total War: Rome 2 is set to release on September 3, while Total War: Arena is still in development.
