Trio of classic Total War games get the “Definitive” treatment

Three of the best-loved Total War games are back. Empire, Medieval II, and Napoleon are now “Definitive” and fully stocked with their respective DLC.

 

Total War!

When you talk about classic PC strategy, Total War is right there with the best of them. Sega and Creative Assembly’s strategic action series has spanned a good chunk of history in its life. The result is that it’s become one of the biggest names in the genre. Though right now, it’s all about orks and dragons.

Currently, Total War: Warhammer II is the standard bearer for the franchise. But while that game is seeing new expansions released, a few of their older titles have gotten some repackaging. And that should make those looking to buy in for the first time pretty happy.

The result of this rebranding is Empire: Total War, Napoleon: Total War, and Medieval II: Total War, the Definitive Editions.

As you can see, if you played these before, the games look the same as they always have. That’s because these aren’t remasters. Instead, the Definitive Editions of this trio now include all previously released DLC.  So with each one, you’re getting the complete experience within one purchase. And if you have some or all of these already, no worries. Sega says that you’re getting free upgrades to the Definitive Editions.

Here are the official listings:

• Total War: EMPIRE
