Pirates & Raiders DLC Released for Total War: Rome 2

Creative Assembly’s Total War: Rome 2’s newest DLC Pirates & Raiders has been released today by Sega at a price of $7.19. The culture pack introduces all new raiding-focused factions, buildings, and technologies, all of which are showcased in the trailer that was released alongside the DLC.

Here’s what’s in store:

Become the scourge of the ancient world with the Total War: Rome II – Pirates & Raiders Culture Pack. Introducing a new playable culture consisting of three new raiding-focused factions, Pirates & Raiders brings new buildings, technologies, religion, faction traits, battlefield and naval units to Total War: Rome II.

Players can now plunder the campaign map as the Ardiaei of Illyria, and the Thracian tribes of Tylis and the Odrysian Kingdom. With their own rosters of military and naval units, distinct traits and play styles, these Balkan factions offer a new and unique way to experience the Grand Campaign in Rome II.

Rome 2 was the best-selling game in Sega’s most  recent financial year, which ended at the end of March 2014. There isn’t a single shadow of a doubt that a new game within the franchise is currently in development at Creative Assembly and Sega.
