If that hunch is correct, then overall feature set might have a larger impact on popularity than brand association. Established brands have the potential to play a big factor with wider audiences, but the competitive factor of this new genre suggests more of a core player base. When all of these arena titles are launched there will be a culling, yet we are challenged to say now which of these titles will succeed over the others. Yet even during the heyday of PC RTS games that featured competitive online matches, only two or three titles seemed to be hugely popular at any one time. The closest equivalent is real-time strategy titles used in esports. Impact: We have questions regarding how many of these online battle arena titles can co-exist and thrive at the same time.
The title is far enough along for signups for an upcoming closed beta to be taken. The game was revealed during the Game Developers Conference, but no information on release dates or online items for sale were announced. With so few units to command in comparison, Creative Assembly is experimenting with a far larger set of command controls for players. While the Total War RTS franchise has a reputation of fielding thousands of units in massive historical campaigns, Arena will give players but three units in 10v10 online multiplayer battles. Among the competitive online F2P titles in development are DotA 2 (Valve), Blizzard All-Stars, Command & Conquer (EA), and now Total War Arena from Sega’s Creative Assembly. In addition to Defense of the Ancients (DotA) and League of Legends (LoL), a slew of challengers are in the works.
