- Total War: Empire introduces a host of new minor factions in the A New World expansion.
- 44 additional factions are now playable, each with their own distinct traits and characteristics.
- Meanwhile, the Late Start and Warpath campaigns deliver entirely new strategic experiences for veteran players.
Feral Interactive's mobile ports consistently deliver exceptional quality, and their Total War adaptations are no exception. Now, Total War: Empire—an entry once criticized but now boasting a dedicated cult following—is receiving a major expansion. Titled A New World and launching on September 18th, this update unlocks even more playable factions and introduces two brand-new campaigns.
The first of these is the relatively straightforward Late Start Campaign. Set in 1783 at the dawn of the Age of Revolution, your challenge is not to build a global empire, but to hold your existing, far-flung domains together against rising pressures.
If, however, you'd prefer to resist colonization rather than enact it, the Warpath campaign awaits. Featuring five historical Native American factions, you'll battle across a single theater to establish dominance over North America—and perhaps even push the invaders back into the sea.
New Players in the Great Game
For longtime Total War players, the news that the playable faction count has increased by a substantial 44—bringing the total to 55—is a welcome, if long-overdue, development. While many of these minor factions may not match the depth of the core 11, they offer unique challenges. Imagine elevating the squabbling Italian states into a formidable, unified nation of your own making.
Do not underestimate these newcomers; many possess unique traits, events, and strategic flavor. So, if you're eager to attempt world domination from the most humble of beginnings, mark your calendar for September 18th.
