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, armor and abilities.  Decisive strategies, combat tactics and teamwork decide who is victorious.

US servers will go live next month, bringing ARENA’s unique epic-scale battles to US players.  In celebration of this, a US launch event will take place at the ESL Studios in Burbank, California, on Friday 13th of November 2015.

This event will bring 20 players from US and Europe to the famous ESL studios, to go head to head in Total War: ARENA`s fast-paced 10v10 battles on custom-made battlefield maps, where decisive strategies, combat tactics and teamwork will decide who is victorious.

The US launch event will be streamed live on the official Total War Twitch channel starting at 3pm PDT on the 13th of November.
