Hannibal at the Gates is the second major expansion for Total War: Rome II, the strategy game from Creative Assembly and Sega. The new content is available to pre-order (Steam) for £9.99/$14.99/€14.99, and will feature five playable factions with a whole host of new units for players to learn.

The new content will drop players into the 2nd Punic War, with Hannibal taking on Rome with the help of his iconic elephant units. Creative director Mike Simpson said: "We are committed to improving and adding to the game over the coming months; we very much want ROME II to be remembered as one of our best."
