![]() 3k was super successful but looking at current player numbers it is quite unpopular. ![]() If not, they'll drop it harder than Sisyphus' boulder, no matter how much money they made from the Epic deal.įrom a business perspective it doesn’t matter at all if the Game is popular or not. ![]() If the playerbase is here and sticks to Troy, CA will continue to make DLC. Did you not see the lukewarm reception of the playerbase, or the anger that the Epic deal brought? Add to that the lack of mods, no crossplay, the multiplayer that is dead on arrival, etc - those things tend to keep people away. Troy will definitely be profitable due to the Epic deal, but being popular is another thing entirely. I think you misunderstand being profitable and being popular. My only hope is that the recourse part will be taking into consideration for future titles. That said i do really like the campaign part based upon recent videos but still won’t be buying the game. If we see more than 1 or 2 dlc’s i would be highly surprised. As said i think the game will be abandoned quickly by the majority of the players as the battles clearly suck, it fails to make a choice for either historical or fantasy, it’s only available on epic the first year, ca in general doesn’t aim for saga titles to receive a lot of love after release and the modding community is limited. Let’s assume the amount of dlc’s will be based upon the total popularity of the game meaning, first day downloads + additional purchases after day one (which will be limited) + number of players playing the game After x days + general consensus community about the game after x days. Afterwards You can do the math and make an estimation about the costs for developing a game like this. How much downloads do we expect day 1 and how many copies will be actual sold after day one? It’s clear that the revenues of this title will be depending heavily on day 1 sales. Originally, I'd say Nestor, but now that Diomedes is one of the first factions in the ending turn, I guess he looks like the stronger candidate.Īnd how do you recon the deal looks like? Ca will only get payed by epic for the first day downloads. Biggest candidate is Ajax (CA itself even implied so) accompanied with another Achaean lord. If they do, it's obviously not going to be 5 DLCs, maximum is 3, with the Amazons included. Personally, I'd be surprised if they release anything else apart from the Amazons. Judging from the feedback, the limited interest and the equally unambitious scope, it's almost certain that the game is not going to perform particularly well. How do you know the details of the contract with Epic? Can you please share them?Īnyway, the game can flop, in regards of expectations. It’s absolutely irrelevant how many will buy the game because CA will get the money anyways. No the Epic deal makes it impossible to flop because CA already got it’s money. Please don’t try me out on business practices. It all depends on how many people buy the game after day 1. The game will flop so expect nothing and perhaps your lucky. I think all of those would be well-received because they'd actually add to and enhance the main campaign, not be a separate campaign with nice mechanics but lacking character/personality that made the main one shine. That could also mean a map extension to add more Bronze Age factions, that could mean making more Greek and Trojan heroes playable, that could mean adding off-map players like Memnon who entered the fray, etc. Yeah, 8P was unpopular because it was disconnected from the main game and didn't add what people wanted: more scenarios and characters for 3K era.Īssuming Troy does well (which I hope it does), the DLC should expand on the existing game. The Eight Princes DLC would be a better example, and that DLC was very unpopular. The Wrath of Sparta campaign had nothing to do with Rome.īut, yes, it's very unlikely to see a campaign about the collapse of the Bronze Age. ![]() That would require a completely new game and also has nothing to do with Troy and the Iliad I would like to see a campaign about the collapse of the Bronze Age, with same apocalyptic atmosphere from Attila: Total War. 2K A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia.846 A Total War Saga: Fall of the Samurai. ![]()
