The next big game in Sega’s historical real-time strategy and combat series is being unveiled today: Total War: Attila. It is a kind of sequel to Total War: Rome II, the massive strategy game that debuted last year.

Sega developer The Creative Assembly gave me a preview of the game, and it looks like a lot of fun. This time, instead of building the Roman empire, you have to defend it from the invasions of barbarians. If you fail to hold back Attila’s armies, Rome will burn.
