LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (August
19th, 2009) – SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America, Inc. today announced
Napoleon: Total War, the first in an all-new story driven branch of The Creative
Assembly’s multi award winning Total War RTS franchise. Napoleon: Total War will
keep the franchise’s genre-leading 3D battles on land and sea. The turn-based
campaign is split into three different story-driven campaigns, telling the story
of the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte through his most famous battles.
In Napoleon: Total War, aspiring generals have the chance to play as the
legendary French general Napoleon Bonaparte or as one of his opposing factions.
Battling through his three biggest military campaigns, the game will take you
through Italy and Egypt, narrating the early years of the fearsome commander,
while the third campaign will tell the story of his fateful drive towards Moscow
and, ultimately, his showdown with the Duke of Wellington at one of the most
famous battles of all – The Battle of Waterloo.
