Sega’s The Creative Assembly game studio is announcing today that Wrath of Sparta, a new campaign expansion for Total War: Rome II, will release on Tuesday, Dec. 16. The title will be more fodder for fans of the real-time strategy series that captures battles among ancient civilizations.

Total War: Rome II launched in September 2013, but developer The Creative Assembly and publisher Sega continue to support the PC/Mac game. That’s because the titles are perennial sellers, with new fans and history buffs playing them long after they’ve launched. In fact, the Total War games have around 850,000 monthly active players even though there hasn’t been a new title in the series this year. On average, gamers play Total War games for 104 hours per game.
