Vienna, Austria/Minsk, Belarus, April 13th, 2018: Back in the big city, Police Chief Jack Boyd, the protagonist of This Is the Police, was too deeply mired in bureaucracy to pay much attention to field tactics. But in Sharpwood, a cold frontier town where a young woman named Lilly Reed has recently become sheriff, you’ll need to take a new approach: you’ll have to take your cops under direct control during particularly difficult and dangerous missions.
In such situations, the game will switch to a new turn-based combat mode system. Gather a team of your finest police officers (or use your drunk and stupid bums – you don’t always have the luxury of being choosy!). Take up advantageous positions and don’t forget: the police are supposed to arrest suspects, not kill them. You’ll have to carefully study the terrain, constantly adapt your plans, stealthily approach your suspects and use non-lethal weapons and equipment. Unless, of course, you bartered them for a dozen cans of tuna. Sometimes gunfights are almost impossible to avoid, but be careful: This Is the Police 2 doesn’t have hit points. A single bullet can cost a cop their life.

April 12, 2018 – An uneasy peace lay across the British Isles following Alfred the Great’s victory over the Viking invaders. The kings of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and the freshly settled Danes, sensed a time of opportunity. Ambition smouldered within the courts, and securing loyalty from within was paramount to both the success – and survival – of a ruler.
Assuming the role of the English, the Gaels, the Welsh, the Great Viking Army or the Viking Sea-Kings, players of Thrones of Britannia must master the dark arts of politics, employing every method from the arrangement of marriages and the gifting of estates to bribery and – in extreme cases – assassination.
The new Politics & Intrigue Feature Spotlight video, released today, delves into some of the machinations which may occur as you maintain rule in the fractured and fragile British Isles.
How will you negotiate the nest of intrigue?
A Total War Saga: THRONES OF BRITANNIA will be available from 3rd of May and is available to pre-order digitally from SEGA approved digital retailers* with a 10% discount.
