A Total War Saga: Troy Gets New Trailer All About Paris The Jerk

Today Creative Assembly released a new trailer of the upcoming Total War game A Total War Saga: Troy.

The trailer focuses on Paris, prince of Troy, who effectively caused the Trojan war by eloping with Helen, queen of Sparta.

As usual, the trailer gives a cinematic view of the “hero” which in this case isn’t exactly heroic. I’m sorry not sorry about the title. Here in Italy, we study the Iliad in school, and Paris is unquestionably a jerk. 

You can check out the trailer below.

The game was announced a while ago by Creative Assembly, and a few days ago we learned that it’ll be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for a year. This is a one-off, and the developer doesn’t plan to continue with the same initiative on further Total War games going forward. We also saw another video focusing on the famous Trojan Horse, one featuring Achilles, and another focusing on Menelaus.

That being said, it’ll also be free for a day when it launches on August 13, 2020.

If you’re unfamiliar with A Total War Saga: Troy, you can read an official description.
