Thrones of Britannia wants to bring drama into Total War War saga

  • 727

Creative Assembly released a pair of new videos for its upcoming Total War spinoff, Thrones of Britannia, which focuses on the strategy game's Gaelic campaign. Take a look at a cinematic starring king of Mide, Flann Sinna, and then watch a lengthy look at gameplay.

In the Gaelic campaign, Sinna is fighting to become the high king of Ireland. That's easier said than done, since his kingdom is landlocked and surrounded by potential enemies. You can get a taste of the overall climate in the cinematic trailer below.

The next clip is a deeper dive into the campaign. You'll see how players can recruit and mobilize their armies, and see why the Viking interlopers should have probably pointed their ships elsewhere.

The Total War Saga: Thrones of Britain is coming to PC on April 19.

I like it, I've never been able to get into any of the Total War games though; should give it another try.

For my drama needs, I play Crusader Kings II :P

Between Total War Warhammer 1+2, Three kingdoms and Britannia, I feel like strategy players have been very spoiled recently and will continue to be for the recent future.

Not familiar with series but do these games have story modes ? How good is plot if so ?
