SEGA has revealed that Total War: PHARAOH, the next installment in the award-winning strategy franchise, will be released in October 2023. Total War: PHARAOH plunges players into the turbulent events of New Kingdom era Egypt, where they will determine the fate of three warlords. Great cultures as they fight for survival amid the catastrophic collapse of the Bronze Age.

“There are few periods like ancient Egypt; fraught with political intrigue, cataclysmic events and major war campaigns, it’s the perfect setting for the Total War title,” said game director Todor Nikolov. “As a pharaoh, you have to save Egypt from destruction and lead your people through a catastrophic collapse for the Bronze Age. It is up to you to survive or disappear into history.”

Make up your religion
The Pharaoh is dead and the people of Egypt, Canaan and the Hittite Empire demand a new leader. Many desire the power of the throne, but the path to becoming pharaoh is fraught with perils. As the leader of these great nations, you must overcome the collapse of society, face natural disasters and fight to protect your people from invaders from faraway lands.

With eight Faction Leaders to choose from from three rich cultural themes, step into their unique play styles and take charge of their deadly and diverse unit rosters. Whether you charm the courts like a peerless diplomat, go to war as a steady commander, or sow chaos like a fearless warlord, you become a leader that history will remember.

Survey of ancient Egypt
On your journey to become Pharaoh, you’ll discover beautiful and vivid recreations of ancient Egypt at the height of its power. From the fertile banks of the Nile to the arid, windswept deserts of the Sinai Peninsula and the mountainous crags of ancient Anatolia, this remarkable visual retelling brings to life the beauty and brutality of Egypt’s most turbulent age.

Experience the dynamic epic combat
Enemy armies are not the only challenges to overcome on the battlefield. Lead your soldiers through sudden and dramatic weather changes, such as thunderstorms and sandstorms, and watch the tide of battle turn as it directly affects the surrounding terrain.

Control how you play with a wide range of campaign customization options, such as random starting positions for all factions, detailed resource settings, the ability to play with natural disasters, and much more. With a plethora of options, you can stack the odds against yourself for an extra challenge or become an unparalleled force to fight your way to victory.
