The quick version of the extensive blogpost is that the map will be 23x bigger than it was when it appeared in Total War: Atilla, and therefore 'the largest, most detailed version of the British Isles featured in a Total War game.' It was a turbulent period of British history, and out of it the country of England began to form, and it's this series of events that CA are looking at much more closely.Īnd now the studio has given us a lot of new insight into what it's planning for the game. In this case we're talking about 878 AD in Britain, around the time the Vikings started showing up en masse and raiding further and further into the mainland. The Creative Assembly recently announced A Total War Saga: Thrones of Brittania, a spin-off from the studio's main historical series, and one that focuses on a fairly narrow period of history.
