SEGA announces a September 3rd global release date for Total War: ROME II, also revealing a preorder bonus and a collector's edition for the upcoming real-time strategy sequel. The game can be preordered from the SEGA store or one of the retailers listed on this page, and those who preorder any edition from a participating retailer will receive a free copy of the release day DLC. The DLC is called the Greek States Culture Pack, which adds three additional playable factions: Epirus, Athens and Sparta. Word is: "These factions have their own unique units, buildings, missions and win conditions alongside a distinct tech tree and, in the case of Sparta, will present a considerable challenge to the advanced player wishing to restore the famous city state to its former glory." The Collector's Edition is a limited run of 22,000 individually numbered copies in a pleather case. Complete details on the CE are on this page. Returning to the preorders, Dealzon has a coupon code for Green Man Gaming to save 25% off the retail price, and their Steam fulfillment includes the preorder DLC.
