With Total War Pharaoh on the horizon, what better way to get ready for the next installment in Creative Assembly’s masterful historical series – featuring some of the best strategy games of all time – than a massive Total War sale? With everything from the series’ earliest games, all the way up to the most recent historical entries prior to Total War Pharaoh, you won’t want to miss out. So, move fast to grab these bargains.
The upcoming Total War Pharaoh, of course, focuses on the grand empire of ancient Egypt at the height of its glory. The series has long been capturing some of the most famous eras in history, however, and no matter what period interests you, you’re sure to find a game in this Total War Steam sale that can satisfy your historical re-enactment desires.
Personally, I’ll always have a big soft spot for the early days of the series, with a particular penchant for the first Rome Total War – when it comes to empires, it’s tough to top the Romans, and CA captures their mighty spread across the continents and the empire’s eventual turning back inwards on itself perfectly. It’s so good, in fact, it got its very own remaster, which is also part of the sale.
If you’ve never played Shogun Total War, the first entry in the series, you can get it for a staggeringly low $2.49 / £1.74 along with its Mongol Invasion expansion – I think you’ll be surprised just how well it holds up, while still getting a feeling for how far Creative Assembly have come since. The animated cutscenes when your assassins go to take out an enemy leader, with the reveal of whether they were successful cleverly masked until the very climax, still rile up the tension in fantastic style.
For those of you who want to get a bit more fantastical,
The third and final DLC for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope arrives this month, and for developer Ubisoft Milan it involves the return of an old friend.
Developer Creative Assembly has announced that the next major DLC release for Total War: Warhammer 3, titled Shadows of Change, will be coming to PC on August 31. Check out the trailer for the new DLC below.
If you're bored of doing mundane things like «conquering settlements» in Total War: Warhammer 3, it sounds like the legendary lord being added to the Tzeentch roster in the upcoming Shadows of Change add-on might be for you. The Changeling is a shapeshifting daemon who, based on the latest Creative Assembly blog post, plays a totally different Total War.
Sega have formally unveiled the next steaming helping of Total Warhammer 3 DLC, Shadows of Change, which adds three Legendary Lords to this already-jam-packed strategy game: the Changeling for the demonic Tzeentch faction, Yuan Bo for Grand Cathay, and Mother Ostankya for Kislev, plus a brace of new campaign mechanics, units and battlefield abilities.
Total War Warhammer 3 Shadows of Change finally has a release date and full reveal, as the first of three upcoming Creative Assembly strategy game DLCs comes out later this month. There’s the Total War Warhammer 3 4.0 patch, free content, and the paid Legendary Lords, who we’ll break down below.
Modern FPS game classic Doom Eternal is dirt cheap in a Steam sale right now, making it the perfect time to pick up the id shooter. If you’re yet to play it or just want to own it on another platform, I cannot recommend Doom Eternal enough.
One of the greatest space games ever made is having a very brief Steam sale right now, and it is absolutely an essential pick-up if you’re waiting eagerly for the Starfield release date. Outer Wilds is a very difficult game to talk about without spoiling even just the core concept, so if you want to go in completely blind and have somehow missed the core conceit, we recommend it while the Outer Wilds sale is still on.

Two very different, but absolutely essential Game Pass games are leaving the Microsoft service, as both Death Stranding and strategy game Total War: Warhammer 3 are getting the axe from the PC version of the subscription model later this month. While a comprehensive PC Game Pass games list can tell you what to play, you’ll always want to be aware of what’s leaving the service, with Total War: Warhammer 3 a big one.
Back in May, Creative Assembly showed off the Total War: Warhammer 3 roadmap. First on the list of DLC additions was Shadows of Change, scheduled for summer 2023, bringing new legendary lords and units to Tzeentch, Cathay, and Kislev. The Cathayan lord has now been confirmed as Yuan Bo, the Jade Dragon, via a short story CA is giving away. To read it you'll need to login to your Total War dashboard, and if you have trouble with that try doing it in incognito mode, which worked for me.
