Next Total War on the horizon

Sega Announce New Total War Title

Bit out of the blue, but there it is. Picking up were Empire left off, the next game is centered around Napoleons exploits. Considering it's not just focussed on an era but also on an individual, you can expect a more story-driven experience.

Release 2010.

I'd rather have seen this as an expansion for Empire, but no such luck.

Have they given up on Empire? Isn't it a bit early to announce the follower so soon after the previous title?

Oh well, their earlier games were better though. Too bad Medieval Total War doesn't work with Nvidia 8+ series with the mouse issues. That was a classic!

Rome is up there as well, Medieval 2 is quite good now with the mods.

Not a surprising era to proceed on, but it did happen early.

I hope it's not Steam only, that way I could enjoy the multiplayer without the Steam lobby bug they seem intent on not fixing.

Ah, well, let's see how it turns out.

Empire was the 2nd worst game I've bought in the last 20 years. (the first being some Scottish Braveheart title I can't remember now). Gameplay, and game stability are complete crap.

If you want real historical Napoleon era warfare, you need Histwar.

Yeah, that game on the surface had potential, but it was bad beyond
