SEGA Europe and The Creative Assembly have unleashed their latest strategy gem, Total War: Pharaoh, on Steam for Windows PC. Diving back into the historical archives, this installment catapults players into the chaotic era of the Egyptian New Kingdom and the impending Bronze-Age Collapse.
Clash Civilizations, Carve History
Total War: Pharaoh is no mere sandbox; it’s a battleground where turn-based civilization management and real-time strategy go head-to-head. Players are given the reins to an iconic Bronze-Age civilization and are entrusted with rewriting history through diplomacy, economy, and military conquests.
History Meets Gameplay
Engage in a rich narrative inspired by the fall of Pharaoh Merneptah, and brace your nation for the monumental shifts caused by the Bronze-Age collapse. The game does more than just tell; it shows, enveloping players in a highly detailed and vibrant recreation of Ancient Egypt.
Choose Your Battle Style
Offering a trifecta of cultures—the Egyptians, Hittites, and Canaanites—players can opt for different styles of leadership. Whether you’re a savvy diplomat, a battle-hardened commander, or a chaos-inducing warlord, the game has a niche for you.
Expansive Campaign Map
Your quest for power doesn’t stop at the borders of Egypt. The campaign map stretches across key cultural regions including Canaan and Anatolia, pushing players to expand their empire and solidify their reign as Pharaoh or Great King.
Tailor-Made Campaigns
Featuring a new Campaign Customisation tool, Total War: Pharaoh ensures every campaign is a unique experience. Tweak settings like faction starting positions, resource availability, and even the frequency of natural disasters to make each campaign your own.
Combat Beyond Armies
The game ups the ante with dynamic weather systems. Expect sudden thunderstorms and sandstorms to throw a wrench into your battle plans, making terrain and climate as much your enemy as the opposing army.
Divine Gameplay Mechanics
Nineteen deities from various pantheons await your devotion or disdain. Pay your respects and earn gameplay bonuses, or risk drawing their celestial ire.
Step-By-Step Learning
New to Total War or just need a refresher? The game’s tutorial system smoothly integrates both basic and advanced strategies, easing players into the main campaign.

Early adopters have a week to snag exclusive cosmetics: the Avatar of the Gods and the Heart of the Shardana packs are up for grabs.
