Total War: Empire Expands With New Start Date, Factions

Author : Anthony May 13,2026
  • The A New World expansion for Total War: Empire is now available on mobile
  • Experience the Late Start campaign and lead 44 newly added factions
  • Challenge European colonizers in the beloved Warpath campaign

In Total War: Empire, you guide a major 18th-century empire as it colonizes and exploits global territories, all while confronting historic rivals close to home. It stands out in the Total War series and has just received a massive mobile expansion: A New World.

A New World offers two key attractions, starting with the addition of 44 new playable factions worldwide. While many are smaller powers, each has the potential to reshape history and become a dominant world force.

But the centerpiece lies in the campaign section. A New World introduces the Late Start campaign, perfect for players who want to skip the early grind and dive straight into advanced tech and Napoleonic-style line battles. Watch as established empires crumble and new ones emerge.

The expansion also brings back the fan-favorite Warpath campaign, but with a twist. This time, you'll lead Native American tribes as they resist European colonization across the continent.

Cut off from supply lines, industry, and advanced technology, you'll need to adapt new combat strategies while relying on ambushes and superior numbers to wear down enemy forces. It presents a tough challenge for Total War veterans, making the expansion well worth its price—especially with all the additional content included.

If you enjoy grand strategy, why not command an empire right from your phone? Explore our picks for the top iOS strategy games to embrace your inner ruler—whether ruthless conqueror or benevolent leader.
