While Total War Saga: Troy released last month, the latest in Creative Assembly’s long-running historical strategy franchise has received a number of updates already. A highly anticipated update – mod support – has been delayed a bit.
The new update has been delayed “at least a month”, news confirmed by Creative Assembly this past week. The mod community behind Total War is quite robust, some fans have managed to create total conversion mods, making Total War adaptations for The Witcher, or some simply adding features like additional playable factions.
Alongside the news of the delayed mod support is the new content pack, bringing the amazons to Troy on September 24th. The new leaders – Penthesilea, Hippolyta – and their warriors, will be free to claim for 2 weeks via Total War Access.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
