New trailer reveals first playable faction leader!
Alfred the Great's victory at the Battle of Edington, in which he stood fast against the Viking invaders and changed the future of the British Isles, marks the player's historical starting point of 878 AD in the forthcoming A Total War Saga game, Thrones of Britannia.
Like Alfred, each playable faction leader will face a series of unique events and branching dilemmas based on historical events. The choices made will have far-reaching and impactful consequences allowing players to write their own story and re-write history.
Players can attempt to achieve victory in a number of ways: by aggressively expanding through force of arms, by increasing their faction's fame through construction, advanced technology and influence, and by completing a series of unique objectives based on their chosen faction's history. A final, ultimate victory condition can also be aimed for, presenting the player with a unique and significant late-game challenge.
