Creative Assembly's lead designer, James Russell, announced during a GDC 2013 talk today, that the studio is currently developing Total War: Arena, an free-to-play multiplayer-focused installment set in Total War games series.
The game will feature 10v10 battles, with each player controlling three units. Players will be able to both earn and purchase items in-game.
Russel characterized Total War: Arena as a cross between a multiplayer online battle arena and a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
Creative Assembly will be overhauling the damage control in Total War: Arena with a new focus on per-unit damage. Attacks from the left or right may only damage certain units, Russell explained.
If you are interested you can sign in for a chance at the Closed BETA test on the official Total War: Arena website.
