Total War: Attila's Blood & Burning DLC brings violence and vomit

Features

In what's become a Total War tradition, Attila's Blood & Burning DLC has been released. Like Rome 2's Blood & Gore add-on, or Shogun 2's Blood Pack, this new DLC adds extra gore to the game's battles.

"This pack adds blood-spurt effects, decapitations, limb-lops, disembowelment and more to the game," explains the DLC's description.

And that's not all. This time, a few extra additions really highlight the gruesome pestilence and despair of the time. There's now new animations for when a soldier burns to dead, and diseased soldiers can be seen vomiting over the battlefield. This is a thing that you can pay £2/$3 for.

Yes, there is a trailer.

Blood & Burning is out now.

Editor-in-Chief

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
