Creative Assembly has announced on the official forum their plans for future downloadable content for Total War: Rome II, their global strategy title. The DLC will include both premium and free content.
According to lead designer James Russell, “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.
“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 II in a similar fashion.”
The Greek States Culture Pack DLC and free Pontus playable faction update will be available at launch, and in October the Seleucid Empire will be available for free. The Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack featuring the Royal Scythians, Roxolani and Massagetae will follow as premium DLC.
