Out now the MYTHOS expansion pack for A Total War Saga: TROY allows players to embrace the legends of Ancient Greece and experience the Trojan War in all its mythological glory.
Embrace the legends of MYTHOS
Create your own odyssey and embark on one of three new expeditions to track, fight and tame legendary beasts and unleash them upon your enemies: the Cerberus – a vicious hound of Hades that guards the abyss, the Griffin – a deadly master of the skies, and the Hydra – a nine-headed serpent spreading poison and madness.
Spill blood in epic theatres of war whilst commanding renowned heroes of the age alongside devastating mythical warriors. Multiple new units are yours to recruit including the legendary Arimaspoi and Shades from the underworld alongside mythological redesigns for iconic units such as the Centaur, Giants and the Minotaur.
Turn the tides of the Trojan conflict with supercharged divine abilities to rain upon your enemies such as Zeus’ Thunderbolt or Poseidon’s Tidal Wave and experience a mythologically inspired campaign map featuring new gameplay options and environmental design.
Free content for all owners of TROY
A brand-new game mode is now available to all owners of TROY that dramatically changes the gameplay experience. HISTORICAL mode offers refreshing gameplay that overhauls TROY’s main features so that players can experience the Aegean conflict from a traditional, grounded-in-reality perspective. Such changes include wars being fought between generals and their bodyguards instead of one-man armies wielding the powers of gods. Alongside this, the new Administration mechanic will be available in each game mode to help with the management of their Aegean empires.
This means A Total War Saga: TROY now has three entirely unique game modes with differing degrees of realism for every type of player: MYTHOLOGICAL, HISTORICAL, and TRUTH BEHIND THE MYTH.
TROY is available on Steam now
Players who prefer to wage war on Steam can now take up arms and join the battle. There’s never been a better time to wage war in ancient Greece as three editions are available to purchase for a limited time from launch.
STANDARD EDITION (TROY base game) – 25% off
MYTHIC EDITION (TROY base game + MYTHOS expansion) – 30% off
HEROIC EDITION (TROY base game + MYTHOS expansion + Amazons DLC + Ajax & Diomedes DLC) – 40% off
More information on MYTHOS can be found on the official FAQ. And additional information on TROY’s Steam release and editions can be found here.

2K and Marvel Entertainment unveiled the world premiere of Marvel’s Midnight Suns gameplay, giving a thrilling first look at the game’s genre-defining tactical combat and a new side to legendary Marvel heroes as players experience an unforgettable adventure that dives deep into the darker side of Marvel.
In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, players take on the role of the Hunter – the first customizable original hero in the Marvel Universe, brought back to life from a centuries-long sleep to lead the Midnight Suns, with heroes spanning across the Avengers, X-Men, Runaways, and more. Forced to unite in opposition to Lilith, Mother of Demons and parent to the Hunter, the Midnight Suns must rise up against the darkness in the face of fallen allies and with the fate of the world at stake.
“We’re thrilled to work with Marvel to create Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Not only is this a sensational, original direction for Firaxis, we also have a rewarding partnership with Marvel in telling new stories in their world.” said Steve Martin, Studio President at Firaxis Games.
As the Hunter, each day in Marvel’s Midnight Suns starts off in the Abbey, the last safe haven from Lilith’s demonic influence and the player’s very own secret mystical base. Players will move freely throughout the Abbey from a third-person “over-the-shoulder” perspective and greet their fellow heroes before embarking on missions.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns features a new engaging and deeply customizable battle system that rewards clever thinking with Super Hero flair. In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, players select up to three heroes to bring into combat and all hero abilities are represented through cards. Each hero, including the Hunter, has a unique set of cards that can be arranged and customized to tailor that character to the player’s preference and playstyle. In addition to cards, players will also be able to utilize their environments as they shove, leap, and smash their way to victory.
“In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you aren’t learning how to fight or gradually grow stronger – you and your fellow heroes are already legends, and must combine everything in your arsenal to stop Lilith,” said Jake Solomon, Creative Director at Firaxis. “Cards provide a new and refreshing way to approach tactics, allowing us to really go all-out in designing a combat system that makes every hero feel, look, and play differently.
After completing missions, players return to the Abbey where they’ll develop relationships and strengthen their personal bonds off the battlefield with some of Marvel’s most beloved heroes, such as Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, and more. As the Hunter, players will get to see heroes in a new light and unlock additional abilities as they increase their Friendship through a variety of activities, such as getting to know heroes better through dialogue options, Hangouts, gift giving and more.
“At Marvel, we’re always looking to bring new and fresh experiences to our fans and know people have wanted to ‘hang out’ with their favorite Marvel heroes for a long time,” said Bill Rosemann, Vice President of Creative at Marvel Games. “That’s finally possible in Marvel’s Midnight Suns. We couldn’t be happier with the way 2K and Firaxis are bringing the mystical and darker stories from the Marvel universe to the forefront.”
“It was incredibly important to us to build something the gaming world has never seen before,” stated Garth DeAngelis, Senior Franchise Producer at Firaxis Games. “In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you aren’t just saving the world with heroic combat – you’re living alongside and befriending Marvel legends, engaging in an incredibly deep story, all the while making interesting decisions befitting of timeless Firaxis gameplay.”
Added Chad Rocco, Director of Narrative at Firaxis Games: “With all these heroes from across the Avengers, X-Men, Runaways, and more – this is a particularly interesting and diverse group of heroes who don’t always see eye-to-eye. As the Hunter, it will be up to you to help bridge the gap between the old guard and the new kids on the block.”
Following today’s initial unveil of gameplay, Firaxis will be sharing a closer look at combat via gameplay stream on September 7. Viewers can tune in to www.midnightsuns.com at 11:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday, September 7.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns will launch in March 2022 and will be available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo™ Switch and Windows PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

To celebrate the early access launch of Train Life: A Railway Simulator, NACON and Simteract organised yesterday a live stream for the already strong community of fans enthralled by this ambitious project.
In addition to a gameplay demonstration and answering the questions of the fans, Simteract also revealed the roadmap of Train Life : A Railway Simulator until its final release, scheduled for Q1 2022.
Train Life: A Railway Simulator puts you at the head of a railway company. For the first time in a game of this type, you develop your business to become the biggest rail company in Europe: hire drivers, buy new trains and achieve your contractual objectives! This unique management aspect is supported by the game’s detailed trains and driving system. NACON and Simteract have paid special attention to modeling the trains to ensure the game is both fun and authentic.
New content will be added regularly throughout the period of early access, including some legendary trains and, ultimately, 10,000 km of track across Europe. This detail and scope, along with dynamic weather, mean each voyage will be a unique experience.
