Hannibal at the Gates of Total War: Rome II

Sega today announced that Total War: Rome II will receive its second major campaign pack DLC on March 27th.

Dropping players into the Western Mediterranean at the outbreak of the second Punic War, Hannibal at the Gates features a new campaign map focused on the tinderbox geopolitical situation that brought two ancient world superpowers to all-out war; with sworn rivals Scipio and Hannibal at the very heart of the conflict.

Five playable factions will feature a wealth of new units. Main protagonists Rome and Carthage will benefit from a new civil tech tree based around diplomacy, while the challenge in the shadow of these mighty empires for newcomers Syacuse, the Arevaci and the Lusitani will be formidable.

In addition to this, another free content update for Rome II will also drop soon, benefitting all players regardless of whether they own any DLC.

Total War: Rome II – Hannibal at the Gates is available for pre-order now for $14.99 at http://download-store.sega.com/eshop/total-war/rome-2-3418.html.
