SEGA has announced Total War: Rome 2 – Emperor Edition, a brand new edition of last year’s strategy title that bundles together all previously released free content with a brand new campaign expansion pack Imperator Augustus.
The expansion adds a new single-player campaign map based on the Second Triumvirate War, where leaders Octavian, Marc Antony and Lepidus go to war to become the first Emperor of Rome following the death of Julius Caeser.
Most importantly, though, existing owners of Rome 2 will be able to upgrade to the Emperor Edition for free on day of launch, granting them access to the new campaign pack at no additional cost.
“ROME II was far and away our most ambitious game,” said creative director Mike Simpson. “We see more people playing, and playing for longer, than any other game in the Total War series. However, we take our players’ feedback very seriously.
“Through the multitude of improvements and free content updates we’ve brought to ROME II since its launch, we’ve worked hard to try and meet their expectations. We want Emperor Edition to be remembered as one of our finest games.”
Total War: Rome 2 – Emperor Edition launches this September. A price has yet to be announced.
