Total War: Rome 2's paid and unpaid content plans detailed

[Administrator]

Total War: Rome 2 developer Creative Assembly has detailed its upcoming content plan for its highly-anticipated strategy sequel.
The game's Greek States Culture Pack DLC can be obtained for free by pre-ordering from participating retailers, while the Pontus playable faction will arrive as a free update on day one. Come October, the developer will add the Seleucid Empire as a free playable faction as well.
There will be other free updates too, but these will be smaller tweaks mostly focused on optimisation as opposed to substantial new content. "As with Shogun 2, we will continually improve the game's compatibility, optimisation and integral features such as AI and gameplay balancing post-release, and plan to add to that with new control schemes and additional free formats on other operating systems," explained lead designer James Russell, "We are also very proud of how Shogun 2 is our most moddable Total War to date with over 500 user-made mods on Steam Workshop alone. We hope to support Rome 2 in a similar fashion."
