Pontus Faction Coming to Total War: Rome 2 for Free

Creative Assembly has announced a new faction coming to Total War: Rome II. Available as day-one downloadable content, the Pontus faction will be free and marks the ninth playable faction in Total War: Rome II.

According to Creative Assembly, “hailing from the mountainous lands around the Black Sea, The Kingdom of Pontus is distinctly eastern in outlook and attitude. Resolute in battle and feared for its swift, deadly scythed chariots, Pontus stands poised to sweep South into the Arabian Lands, or West, to threaten Asia and Greece.”

More information on Pontus is available on Total War’s official site.
