From the immense reach of the sandbox campaign right down to the human-level drama of a single warrior on the battlefield, we’re aiming for an unprecedented level of detail and scale”. “But we’re now pushing that vision at both ends of the spectrum. "Our games have always encompassed a grand vision," said creative boss Mike Simpson. Scalability is being promised, allowing you to play the game "no matter what your spec." Rome II will feature a new graphics engine capable of rendering "tens of thousands of men" in "bone-splintering detail". The RTS will feature "the most expansive turn-based campaign and the largest, most cinematic real-time battles yet seen in any game." The Creative Assembly's Total War: Rome II will release for PC next year, Sega said today.

As expected, Sega has confirmed the existence of Total War: Rome II, pegging the sequel with a 2013 release date.
