Total War: Rome II Gets a Release Date, New Trailer

Sega today announced that Total War: Rome II will be available for the PC on September 3rd on both physical and digital formats. The game is now available for pre-order from the Sega Store and other retailers.

Pre-order Bonus:
Those gamers who pre-order any edition from participating retailers will receive Rome II’s first DLC for free alongside the game on release day. This first DLC, the Greek States Culture Pack, adds three additional playable factions to the game: Epirus, Athens and Sparta.

These factions have their own unique units, buildings, missions and win conditions alongside a distinct tech tree and, in the case of Sparta, will present a considerable challenge to the advanced player wishing to restore the famous city state to its former glory.

Collector’s Edition:

The Total War: Rome II Collector’s Edition will be produced in a single, extremely limited run; only 22,000 individually numbered copies will be manufactured. The CE contains custom, Roman-themed games and items, bound in a leather-effect presentation box, complete with gold logo and magnetic closure, including:

  • Numbered copy of Total War: Rome II – This version comes in a debossed Steelbook case, laser-etched with your unique collector’s number in Roman numerals.
  • Tabula set – The Roman forerunner to Backgammon, this Tabula set comprises 30 bone-effect game pieces supplied in their own burlap drawstring bag; the board itself is built into the base of the Collector’s Edition box.
  • Tesserae Dice – Three replica bone-effect dice for use in a variety of games. The design is based on original Roman Tesserae, found at the archaeological site of Herculaneum.
  • Total War Cards: Punic Wars – Designed from the ground up to echo elements from Rome II, Total War Cards is a game of skill and luck for two players. Involving combat, territorial control, resource management and technological development, Punic Wars consists of 58 high-quality playing cards and a game-board printed with the Punic Wars tech-tree.
  • Canvas Campaign Map – A reminder of the world you must conquer, this ribbon-tied canvas map depicts each of the 57 provinces of the Rome II campaign.
  • Roman Onager – A complete, fully-functional Onager, or Roman siege catapult. This easy-to-assemble kit is constructed from weathered wood and steel, measures 26cm x 12cm x 12cm, and is capable of unleashing small projectiles at a variety of inanimate objects which may have affronted the glory of your empire.

The Total War: Rome II Collector’s Edition is only available through selected retailers. Follow the link to pre-order from a list of participating retailers: http://www.totalwar.com/rome2_collectors.
