Total War : Pharaoh Shows Off New Canaanite Faction

Creative Assembly has released a brand new deep dive trailer featuring the Canaanite Faction for Total War : Pharaoh.

Reclaim the Prestige of the Canaanite Empire

There is no Canaanite bloodline, only those strong enough to have survived on the sword edge between two rival empires. These warlords have little in common beyond seeking the demise of the current dynastic power structures and to instil their own unique legacy.

Irsu, the ravager, is a savage warlord and raider hoping to prey on the fragility of civilisation and reap the rewards of the chaos that follows. Proudly barbaric, he has no care for diplomacy and favours aggression and brute strength to overcome his foes. In battle, his units are well armoured, excel at fighting in melee and have access to the Raiders and Razers Ability allowing them to set buildings on fire to sow further discontent.

Bay, the schemer, is a supreme survivor and master manipulator. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, his ability to look weak and friendly come naturally to him, for he is tired of watching the spoils of high Egyptian society from afar. His clandestine playstyle is ideal for players who want to lurk in the shadows, slowly growing in influence before striking from positions of diplomatic power. Amidst battle, his troops expertly ambush with use of Abilities like Vanguard Deployment, Stalk and Sneak, allowing his nimble melee infantry and short-range missile units to strike from various angles, surprising enemies and securing rapid victories.

Harness a Versatile War Machine

As regional underdogs confronting two military giants, the Canaanites have refined their warfare strategies to counter the Egyptians’ rapid speed and the Hittites’ heavy armour. Their strength lies in their adaptability during combat, fielding armies that blend robust durability with remarkable agility. Consequently, they primarily employ medium-armoured forces, whilst occasionally incorporating heavy and light infantry depending on whether they’re conducting land raids or surprising unsuspecting foes.

Pre-order Bonuses

Players who pre-order Total War: Pharaoh can gain access to a Pharaoh’s trove of early-adopter bonuses including the ability to take part in an Early-Access Weekend, the Avatar of Gods Cosmetic Pack, and the Heart of the Shardana Cosmetic Pack.
