So, it looks like the next iteration of the Total War series will revisit Rome.

Total War publisher Sega has announced Total War: Rome II for launch next year. The PC game, sequel to the lauded 2004 strategy title Rome: Total War, remains in the hands of The Creative Assembly.

Sega's announcement promises the series' signature mix of real-time and turn-based action in Ancient Rome, with "tens of thousands" of troops clashing in "bone-splintering detail" as you helm the vast war machine of the world's first superpower. There's a new graphics engine crunching the numbers, and new unit cameras to let you see the battlefield from every perspective.

The first couple of screenshots of the game respectively reveal a large-scale naval invasion and swarms of soldiers in a detailed, smouldering cityscape. We spy a squad of battle elephants on the far left of the latter.

The Total War series last brought gamers its brand of historical fracas with Total War: Shogun 2 in March 2011 and that game's Fall of the Samurai stand-alone expansion in March this year.

Looking forward to a return to the Roman era. Though not for the Romans, admittedly, more the other factions around the area. It was always more satisfying subjugating the Romans than it was playing them.
