Alfred the Great Shines in A Total War Saga, Thrones of Britannia

A Total War Saga is getting ready to expand again, this time with Thrones of Britannia. In a new trailer, SEGA and Creative Assembly are shining the spotlight on none other than Alfred the Great.

Alfred is the first of the playable faction leaders to be revealed. Each will face a “series of unique events and branching dilemmas based on historical events”. Of course, each choice will have wide-ranging effects on the rest of the game. In fact, players can even and literally rewrite history.
