And we'll try to tackle one of the most famous conflicts in the Trojan War. It's eight centuries before everything we've attempted so far, which is quite a different world and it's quite challenging for us as developers.

In the case of Troy, we are trying to focus on quite a daunting task, to take the series into the Bronze Age era. But a lot of them can still be represented in this form and that is what we are trying to do. Because while there are a lot of interesting times and places in history to cover, not all of them are suitable for grand era games. So they're more zoomed-in, intimate experiences, trying the Total War formula on a smaller scale. What makes Saga a Saga? Obviously, the word "Saga" is more connected to the Vikings and the northern regions, but the idea of a saga, compared to a mainline title is that while bigger Total War titles are trying to represent a whole historical era in themselves, Sagas are more focused on a particular place, geographically-speaking, in the world or a particular pivotal moment of history. Troy is the second one under the Saga sub-franchise banner.

Maya Georgieva, Game Director: Total War Sagas are a particular form of Total War games that we are trying to make. Shacknews: Can you talk about the meaning behind the title? What makes this a Total War "Saga?" We asked about following Homer's classic Iliad, some of the new mechanics introduced in Troy, as well as building a Saga for both veterans and newcomers. To learn more about what players can expect from Sega and The Creative Assembly's next effort, Shacknews took some time to speak with Game Director Maya Georgieva. And all of it looks to unfold differently with players taking on different historical figures, like Paris and Menelaus. We got to learn about the strategy epic's setting, mythical heroes, and a handful of interesting new ideas, like Divine Will, Epic Agents, and Mythical Units. Shacknews previously got to take a first look at A Total War Saga: Troy back in early June.

Players are about to experience a new spin on the Trojan War. For its latest Saga side entry, A Total War Saga: Troy, the team is going back to the ancient days of civilization and tackling one of the greatest conflicts ever known. The team at The Creative Assembly has covered a number of historical fronts with its ongoing Total War franchise.
