Rome: Total War II Preparing for Battle

The next Total War game will be announced at Rezzed over the next few weeks, although we may already know exactly what we're in for. In a teaser for the next issue of PC PowerPlay, a picture of Rome: Total War is shown with a giant "II" emblazoned across the battlefield and, while this technically doesn't confirm anything, there isn't a lot left to the imagination and I find it hard to believe they're hinting at anything but a sequel to 2004's Rome: Total War.

Rome: Total War was a fan favourite and is long overdue another outing. If you're not sure about the series, or at least about the Rome aspect of it, a Steam sale is supposed to be on sometime soon (perhaps even this week) and it's always a game that's reduced. I think I picked it up, along with its expansion, for around the £3 mark a couple of years ago.

Expect an official Rome: Total War II announcement on either the 5th or the 6th July.
