SEGA has announced the Total War Anthology, compiling all five Total War games to date, plus some bonus content for the upcoming Napoleon: Total War. It’s also exclusive to Australia and New Zealand.
In one “collectible box set” (pictured) the Anthology includes the gold editions of Total Wars:
* Shogun
* Medieval
* Medieval II
* Rome
* Empire (Note: this one is the Special Forces edition, not the Gold edition)
As for that bonus content for Napoleon? SEGA says it “offers exclusive Napoleon: Total War collectable artifacts including a letter from Napoleon to his generals, a map of the battle of Waterloo and six character cards.” Napoleon: Total War is due out February 2010.
The best bit about all this? The price: $99.95.
The Total War Anthology goes on sale October 1, only in Australia and New Zealand.

I just bought Shogun & Medieval cheap on Ebay and was waiting until the price went down on Empire & it was more stable.

Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 9:11 PMWow! I feel like I’ve just been punched in the face by value! Sweet deal, and exclusive to Aus/NZ? I must have shifted into the bizzaro universe while I slept.
