Historical strategy war game "Total War: Rome 2" is now in its fifth year since its release. Despite being quite old in the gaming scene, developer Creative Assembly and publisher Sega have recently announced a new culture pack, which adds four entirely new factions.

Each faction will feature its own kind of playstyles that are quite different from the ones already in the game. The factions would, of course, also have their building chains and technology trees. These titular kingdoms are Nabatea, Kush, Masaesyli and Saba. As seen in the trailer, it looks like they will be bringing in their own armored camels to the fray.

The culture pack is actually in addition to the downloadable content they have released last year for the game's fourth birthday, "Empire Divided." As for the divisions, there is not much known about what exactly they can do. Fans, however, can make guesses based on the "Desert Kingdom" trailer.

On the other hand, following the culture pack is a free update that in themselves will also add new leaders and generals aside from the usual bug fixes. In light of recent gender issues especially women empowerment, the update will be adding Cleopatra, who everyone already knows and Teuta who is the queen regent of an Illyrian tribe.

Both Teuta and Cleopatra will be fully playable with their own visuals and even voice-over. There are also other women added to the game. Players will notice them on all the campaigns in the game. The full patch notes can be viewed on the official announcement blog.

Just like before, whenever Creative Assembly releases something, players can get a 10% discount when they preorder it. Those interested can do so by getting it on PC via Steam. The "Desert King" culture pack is due out on March 8, 2018. The free update will also be released by then.
