The final expansion for the hit strategy title Total War: Pharaohs will launch this month.
SEGA unveiled Dynasties, the last content update for Total War: Pharaohs. It will go live this July 25th and players can get it for free.
Game Director Todor Nikolov, in a press release, confirmed that Dynasties will be the last content update for Total War: Pharaohs.
"While it marks the final content addition for PHARAOH, we view it as a love letter encapsulating our continued passion for this era," Nikolov said.
With Dynasties, players can expect a nearly doubled map size and new playable cultures like Babylon and Troy. The expansion will also introduce a dynasty system for managing an empire's legacy.
The new regions will cover the ancient world from the Aegean Sea to Mesopotamia and down to Egypt itself. It will contain at least 168 new settlements, historical landmarks, and fresh victory objectives. To navigate this sprawling sandbox, it will also have a new feature. Called the Sea Travel Lanes, it will allow players faster naval movement as well as more ambitious conquests.
Dynasties will also introduce four iconic new civilizations. They are Babylon, Assyria, Mycenae, and Troy. Each city will not only have unique campaign experiences. But also renowned historical leaders, diverse armies, and distinct sets of deities to appease.
Players can also choose from an additional 25 minor factions. Each faction has its own story to tell, such as the Aeolians led by the legendary Achilles or the Napata kingdom under the warrior-king Memnon.
On top of these, the Dynasties update will introduce a new feature - managing dynasties. It will allow players to ensure the longevity of their dynasties. They can do this by establishing a family tree or forging strategic marriages. Or they can do battlefield sacrifices and even assassinations.
On the battlefield, Dynasties also adds over 150 new and reworked units. These included cavalry, camel riders, and faction-specific warriors like the elite Guards of Troy. Players seeking a more brutal challenge can activate the optional Lethality modifier. This increases combat deadliness for a more realistic war experience, according to developers.
