On a regular basis, Apple World Today posts a list of notable new apps or app updates that have been released. They may not necessarily be new, but they deserve mention. Here are today’s picks.

Feral Interactive’s Rhesus & Memnon DLC for A Total War Saga: TROY is now available for macOS.

Riding from the north is Rhesus, the fierce king of Thrace. From the south, the warrior king Memnon brings his mighty Aethiopian horde. Each has pledged a distinctive force to the Trojans’ cause, with brand new faction mechanics, and between them they lead an impressive 49 new units into battle.

Feral Interactive has also released a free update to A Total War Saga: TROY, including six new gameplay features such as Island Trading and Settlement Abandonment.

For a limited time, a 40% saving is available on Steam for A Total War Saga: TROY – Ultimate Edition, including the base game, Rhesus & Memnon, as well as three more DLC packs to complete the package.
