Total War fans are in for a treat as SEGA has today released Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia for PC. The latest entry game in the famed Total War series, Thrones of Britannia places players in a defining moment of the British Isle's history following Alfred the Great's Victory over the Viking Invaders at the Battle of Edington in 878 AD. Players will take the role of Vikings, Gaelic clans, Anglo-Saxons or Welsh tribes as they embark on campaigns of conquest.

"Our design philosophy for this, the very first Total War Saga game, has been one of re-invention and focus, looking at classic Total War mechanics and consolidating them to deliver more meaningful choices for the player." said Game Director Jack Lusted. "We want everything to tie together in a natural and absorbing way that faithfully represents this fascinating flashpoint in history."
