For those waiting on Empire: Total War, news from Sega today has it pushed back to March of 2009. The official response was, "The extra development time will allow us to finalise and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release." Another piece of good news is that the extra time will allow them to work on a multiplayer campaign. A beta will be available after the release to try this out.
