It features 2 players head to head or as allies against the AI on the full campaign map, in all theatres. It’s had ”over 6 months” of testing.
”After over 6 months of internal testing, we’re happy to finally give all players of Empire: Total War a taste of the future of Total War,” says Creative Assembly’s Mike Simpson, reports CVG. The ‘1 vs. 1 Campaign Multiplayer Open Beta’ requires a sign up.
”Information and user feedback gathered from this Open Beta should help us getting the Campaign Multiplayer mode ready to be a regular feature in upcoming titles in the Total War series” they said. The beta is open to any who own Empire: Total War.
Also debuting on December 7th is the ‘Elite Units of America’ DLC pack, adding 15 new units to American, British and French factions. Presumably they’re all in the beta? Is this direction for the Total War franchise something that interests you, videogamer?
