First there was DOTA: Defense of the Ancients–then came LoL: League of Legends. Now the people from Total War games such as Shogun 2, Rome 2, and Empire comes what I believe to be a game similar to those MOBAs. Massive Online Battle Arena’s have become quite popular and are storming the competitive gaming scene of eSports.

Total War: ARENA will be CA’s first title in a F2P model, representing over a decade of strategy gaming expertise and a new spin-off for the Total War series. Offering players the chance to pitch history’s greatest commanders and their armies against each other in massive team-based battles, ARENA will focus entirely on online multiplayer, mixing elements of RTS and MOBA gameplay.
CA is looking for gamers to help craft their vision of a detailed, deep, multiplayer tactical experience. For more details on forthcoming Closed Beta Tests, sign-up at www.totalwar.com/arena.”
Let Our History Get It’s Game On!
This could be an interesting game; I mean as of right now we don’t know exactly what’s going to be in it but it does sound fun! Who would win between a Ninja and a Centurion? Or instead of just basic military groups, would it be the generals and leaders of that era leading the charge? Alexander the Great versus Genghis Khan! I can’t wait to see what this game is going to be like!
