Total War: Rome II Confirmed For Steam Machines
Sega and Creative Assembly have announced that real time strategy giant Total War: Rome II will be released on Steam Machines.
When Valve’s sort-of consoles are released next year the game will be available to play with the new Steam Controller and OS.
Rob Bartholomew of Creative Assembly said:Â “We’ve always wanted the Total War franchise to be enjoyed by living room gamers, but the limitations of traditional hardware made our style of game play impossible.
“Last month, when Valve invited us to test out the new Steam Controller and unveiled their plans for SteamOS – we were impressed. We believe it will provide us with the control fidelity and platform we need to make a living room experience for Rome 2 that could be a more compelling experience than playing with keyboard and mouse.”
To celebrate the game will be available with a 25% discount this weekend on Steam, bring the recently-released game’s price down to £22.49.
