After teasing a huge Game Developers Conference reveal that players expected to involve either Aliens or Warhammer, the team at The Creative Assembly is announcing that it is currently working on a mix between MOBA and RTS mechanics called Total War: Arena.

The announcement says that players will be able to choose between some of the biggest commanders in the history of warfare and their armies and then battle friends.

Arena will take some core concepts from the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena genre, with heroes that have special abilities and evolve as a match progresses.

But the underlying structure of the new Total War game will be drawn from the real-time strategy space.

All those interested can already sign up for the beta stage, which will start during 2013 and will be offered on the PC.
