Creative Assembly has just announced A Total War Saga: TROY will be coming to Steam in September after a one-year Epic Game Store exclusivity. But that's not the only good news for fans of the series, as the game will be getting the biggest expansion since its release around the same time.

The studio revealed Mythos, a new expansion for A Total War Saga: TROY that will be launched on September 2. In Mythos, players will be able to create their own odyssey and embark on one of the three new expeditions to track, fight and tame legendary beasts and unleash them upon their enemies: the Cerberus, the Griffin, and the Hydra.

The upcoming Mythos expansion will add multiple new units to the game, including the legendary Arimaspoi and Shades from the underworld alongside mythological redesigns for iconic key units such as the Centaur, Giants, and the Minotaur.

Last but not least, Mythos will feature a mythologically inspired campaign map with all-new gameplay options and new ways to entice the gods and enact their divine will.

But wait, there's more! Alongside the new expansion, Creative Assembly will release some free content for all owners of TROY. For example, a new game Historical mode will be available to all owners of TROY that will change the gameplay experience. The new mode overhauls the game's features so that players can experience the Aegean conflict from a realistic, history-first perspective.

If you're waiting for the game to drop on Steam, you won't have to wait too long. A Total War Saga: TROY is coming to Steam on September 2, on the same day the Mythos expansion launches. It's also worth adding that the game will be discounted for a limited time from launch: the Standard edition will get a 25% discount, while the Mythic and Heroic editions will be 30% off and 40% off, respectively.
