The developers at The Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA are one week away from the launch of Total War: Attila and their most recent video aims to show the community a Hunboxing, which is a mix between a traditional unboxing for the Special Edition of the game and a Hun attack.

The footage was created with support from the Stampede Stunt Company and includes horse archers, a lot of arrows, fire and fear, which are some of the core elements that will be introduced to the strategy series in the coming installment.

Total War: Attila will be out on the PC on February 17 and those who pre-order will be able to get access to three extra factions that were the forefathers of the Vikings.

The game focuses on the decline of the Roman Empire, which is split in two, and on the attacks launched by the powerful migratory factions around it.

Gamers will be able to take control of a variety of nations and try to first make sure that they will survive the tumultuous times and the coming change in climate.

Total War: Attila will introduce new horde mechanics, which make tribes very powerful on the battlefield and able to ravage a region, and new tactical combat mechanics, including extensive use of fire and fear tactics.
