Sega’s The Creative Assembly studio is launching a closed beta test for Total War: Arena, a multiplayer-only game where ten players can take on ten in a massive ancient battle with thousands of soldiers.
The free-to-play PC online game is part of the Total War: Rome II franchise that debuted in 2013 and Total War: Attila that came out in January. I played the latter for more than 400 hours, as it was quite addictive. I had a hands-on preview of the Total War: Arena game with developers James Given, community coordinator at Creative Assembly, and Leif Burrows, map designer. The U.S. closed beta test is starting this week.
