Total War Rome II Returns to Antiquity with Empire Divided DLC

New grand-scale campaign pack launches on November 30th; joined by free Power & Politics update

It is the crisis of the third century. A string of inept emperors and usurpers vying for power have torn the Roman Empire into three factions, and with barbarians and Eastern Empires ready to exploit the chaos, it’s do-or-die time. On November 30th, players can reunite the empire or tear it down in this new, grand-scale campaign pack for Total War: ROME II.

Total War: ROME II – Empire Divided features a host of new content to give a new lease on life to ROME II; including 10 different playable factions, new victory conditions and new campaign features such as plagues, cults and banditry. Empire Divided also puts a heavy focus on telling the stories of the characters and powers involved in this rich and fascinating period.

Also joining Empire Divided on November 30th is the free Power & Politics patch update. This update overhauls ROME II’s political system to create a more subtle and intriguing experience with farther-reaching consequences.

Full details on Empire Divided, plus info on how ROME II players can gain entry to the Power & Politics open beta, can be found in the Empire Divided Q&A.

Total War: ROME II – Empire Divided is available now to pre-order through Steam.
