Free Total War: Rome II DLC on Day One

The Creative Assembly today announced it will release a free, day one DLC for Total War: Rome II that will include Pontus as a ninth playable faction.

Hailing from the mountainous lands around the Black Sea, The Kingdom of Pontus is distinctly eastern in outlook and attitude. Resolute in battle and feared for its swift, deadly scythed chariots, Pontus stands poised to sweep South into the Arabian Lands, or West, to threaten Asia and Greece.
