This is the first Total War Saga game - why release a new banner for the series now? It’s the perfect time to start because everybody has something to gain and to fight for and rewrite history in its own way and that’s always been the hallmark of Total War.

As this game starts they own about half of England from the northeast to the southeast and the Saxons are on the northwest. The vikings have been raiding and now they’re conquering. This is the time when those kingdoms were starting to become what we now think of them as. We have loads of competing factions around this time a lot of petty kingdoms that would eventually rise to become wider, larger kingdoms like England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Being the first Saga game, it sets itself aside from the more sprawling Roman Empire and focuses on a a pivotal moment of history that’s maybe not as wide as the Roman times. We wanted something distinct for the Saga style and this lends itself very well to that. Why focus on the events surrounding the Viking Invasion of the British Isles for the debut Total War Saga game? While we were there, we were able to speak with Outreach Manager for Total War at Creative Assembly, James Given, on everything that makes Total War Saga unique. Hardcore Gamer was recently flown out to Sega of America’s headquarters in Irvine, California to go hands-on with the upcoming Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.
