Modding out Achilles' heel

As a strategy retelling of an ancient Homeric epic, the events ofA Total War Saga: Troyare certainly up for reinterpretation - with one foot firmly rooted in myths while the other tentatively tiptoes around historical fact. Soon, though, you’ll be able to bring your own twists on the Trojan war to fruition, with official mod support arriving at the gates of Troy via the Epic Games Store later this month.

Frankly, I’m less concerned about modding out Achilles' videogame weak-spot ankle than I am in replacing him with hischilled-out himbonamesake fromHades.

Mod support has been somewhat elusive on the Epic Games Store since the platform’s launch. Long-touted, the feature finally saw a limited beta forMechwarrior 5: Mercenariesover summer to very little fanfare. With Troytal War, the feature should finally be getting a proper test-drive.

Maybe he’d have had a better time if, say, Achilles was a 10 ft tall giant. Or the Trojans were all Lord Of The Rings Orcs, and the ancient city was made of, I dunno, cheese. Mods, man. Brilliant stuff. Mod support arrives on theEpic Games Storethis October 22nd.A Total War Saga: Troywill eventually come toSteam, where I imagine it’ll also get support via the Workshop sometime next year.
