The next Total War game will be taking players to the Egyptian New Kingdom period, Sega and Creative Assembly have announced today, with the reveal ofTotal War: Pharaoh. Releasing in October 2023, Total War: Pharaoh will see the three great cultures of the people of Egypt, Canaan and Hittite battle it out as they determine who will be the next pharaoh. And it’s all set against the backdrop of the Bronze Age collapsing in on itself, with natural disasters to plan for, foreign powers to defend against, and the general unravelling of society as we know it. Lovely stuff. Come watch the reveal trailer below.

The thing that sounds most exciting about Total War: Pharaoh, though, is its new Campaign Customisation feature. This is good news for those who like to play multiple campaigns of Total War games, as Creative Assembly are hoping it will mean that no two campaigns will ever feel the same. You’ll be able to determine things like each faction’s starting position (or randomise them completely, if you prefer), tinker with natural disasters and play around with a detailed set of resource settings to name just a few of the options on offer, so if you want to create impossible scenarios for yourself or live out the ultimate cakewalk power fantasy, you should be able to do just that.
Total War: Pharoah is coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store for £50/€60/$60 in October, but there will be an early access weekend taking place ahead of launch for anyone who pre-orders the game (which arealso open now). We don’t have exact details of when the early access weekend will be taking place just yet, but we’ll keep you up to date as soon as we hear more.
