14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at The Creative Assembly will honor the memory of a fan who has lost his battle with liver cancer by making him one of the most important Roman soldiers to feature in the upcoming Total War: Rome 2.
Charity Willow via its Special Day Initiative brought James to the game studios during 2012, where he became the first person outside of the team to play the game and then proceeded to offer his own suggestions to the leader of The Creative Assembly.
Craig Laycock, a community manager at the company, tells Eurogamer that, “I was inundated with emails offering help with James' day. The tour organised itself, as the guys around me scrambled to show James what's going into making Rome 2.”
Total War: Rome 2 will be launched later during the year and introduces a number of innovations to the series, including battles that mix land and naval action.
