Creative Assembly has announced the Mythos expansion for A Total War Saga: Troy as the game nears its Steam launch.
The strategy game came out last year as an Epic Games Store exclusive for 12 months. It was free at launch – a move that saw 7.5 million players claim a download in just 24 hours.
Back in June 2020, Creative Assembly said this exclusivity and the free giveaway was a one-off deal for Troy, and there were no plans for future games to be Epic exclusives. The deal was about reaching a new audience, which clearly worked out.
Now, Troy is set for launch on Steam on 2nd September alongside the release of Mythos, which costs £19.99. The announcement trailer is below:

Here’s the official blurb from CA:
“Create your own odyssey and embark on one of three new expeditions to track, fight and tame legendary beasts and unleash them upon your enemies: the Cerberus – a vicious hound of Hades that guards the abyss, the Griffin – a deadly master of the skies, and the Hydra – a nine-headed serpent spreading poison and madness.
