Resolution-wise, the updated game will feature widescreen and ultra-widescreen resolution support, updated battlefields and environments, a high-resolution UI, and a modernised Total War camera system. ROME Total War’s unit has also received updated models, new animations, and improved textures. ROME’s campaign map and buildings have also been remodelled and updated for the modern era, giving the game a new look and a familiar feel. 

Gameplay-wise, this remaster will play a lot like the original. However, the game will launch with sixteen previously locked factions, new campaign map overlays, a modernised UI, a modern Total War camera system, and a new agent called “The Merchant”.
