Total War: Pharaoh takes place during the height of Egypt's power, during an age when Pharaoh Merneptah's power was threatened by new challengers to his throne. If you're looking to preorder the game, you can grab it at a reduced price at Fanatical ahead of its October release. You'll receive multiple preorder bonuses with your order, and all three editions will be delivered as Steam keys.

With a choice of eight Faction Leaders, there'll be unique playstyles and diverse rosters to master, as well as some diplomatic work to take care of between military campaigns.

For the preorder bonuses, you'll unlock the Avatar of the Gods cosmetic pack, which contains a unique skin for each playable faction leader, and the Heart of the Shardana cosmetic pack that contains unique Sherden outfits for bodyguard units. There'll also be an early access weekend included in this deal, with more details to come at a later date.

The Deluxe Edition includes a digital soundtrack and the first Faction Pack DLC, while the Dynasty Edition includes those extras, two more Faction Packs, and the Campaign Pack DLC.
