Total War: Arena is a free to play spin-off for the Total War strategy series, offering players the chance to pitch history’s greatest commanders and their armies against each other in massive team-based battles, mixing elements of RTS and MOBA gameplay.

Total War: Arena represents a new direction for the Total War franchise, and is in development by a dedicated team at Creative Assembly, focused on a purely multiplayer experience.

Each player controls three units of warriors, led by an iconic commander from history, each with their own battle style.  Players level up commanders and units to open up more specialist skills, weaponry, armour and abilities.  Decisive strategies, combat tactics and teamwork decide who is victorious.

“We have spent time since the announcement evolving both the gameplay and the supporting technology, to ensure we deliver smooth online service for multiplayer gamers,” said Gabor Beressy, ARENA Project Lead. “We are excited to say that the game is now in Closed Alpha, and we welcome feedback from players to inform the next stages of development”.


Key Features:

  • Team-based strategy with epic-scale realtime battles.
  • Built for multiplayer RTS fans: fast 10v10 battles where decisive strategies, combat tactics and teamwork will decide who is victorious.
  • Each player controls three units of warriors led by an iconic commander from history, each with their own battle style. Choose from Alexander the Great, Leonidas, Germanicus, Caesar and more.
  • Deep progression layer – level up Commanders and units to open up even more specialist skills, weaponry, armour and abilities.
  • Total War’s award-winning tactical battle gameplay, refi ned purely for multiplayer.
  • Play for free – with option for in-game purchases to customise units and speed progression.

Total War: Arena is now entering Closed Alpha, and interested players can sign-up to get involved in shaping its future development.
