April 23rd was St. George’s Day, which is the feast day of Saint George as celebrated by various Christian Churches. Creative Assembly and SEGA felt what better way to pay tribute to the English heritage in their game, A Total War Saga: Thrones Of Britannia, then to release a new cinematic trailer?
The next release from the multi-award-winning Total War strategy series is set in England and the British Isles during a time of great change.
Thrones of Britannia Game Director, Jack Lusted explains:
“It was under Alfred the Great and his immediate successors that a unified Anglo-Saxon kingdom was first forged.” said . As the only major kingdom left standing after the Viking Invasion, it was under the banner of Wessex that the lands the Great Viking Army had conquered, known as the Danelaw, were retaken. The name of this kingdom changed from Wessex to England.”
The Anglo-Saxons had conquered the land and united all its people, which ended up mixing and merging cultures that originated in Germany, Scandinavia, and Europe.
A Total War Saga: Thrones Of Britannia will be available on May 3rd and is available to pre-order digitally from SEGA approved digital retailers* with a 10% discount. Additionally, Creative Assembly will donate 25% of their profit from every pre-sale of Thrones of Britannia from now until launch, to War Child UK.
