Creative Assembly takes worldwide voyage with Empire: Total War |
Ó
Sega and The Creative Assembly just announced Empire: Total War, taking the widely popular and much loved Total War series to the next level. Not only will the campaigns be worldwide, but there will also be full-blown naval battles that fans have been praying for.
Set in the 18th Century, the Age of Sail, Empire offers a lot more than its predecessors. For the first time in the series, rifles and cannons will now be available to add some "oomph" in combat. Players can now recreate scenes they see in historical movies, lining musketeers up as they stand against foes in a battle for survival.
Another breakthrough for the series is the introduction of full 3D naval battles, something that hindered previous Total War games from being complete. During the time when greater powers are starting to expand their horizons, we can expect access to various types of ships they employed during the era.
If those aren't enough, The Creative Assembly is also widening the scope by making Empire: Total War worldwide. A slew of new factions will be making an appearance, giving you the choice of playing Napoleon or spearheading forces in the east.
Epic land combats will undoubtedly be present, but some nifty features have been added to enhance the experience and make battles faithful to its time. For one, soldiers can now garrison in buildings. Taking cover will also play a major role to avoid certain death from raining bullets and devastating cannons.
Empire: Total War has been secretly in the works for over a year now, but development is still in early stages. The Creative Assembly is aiming for a 2008 release. Still a long wait indeed, so check out the artwork to pass the time.
