The latest entry from The Creative Assembly is finally marching its hordes onto PC, one of many projects the develpers currently have lined up. Attila is the largest, another title in the main series, though it's not one of the generational jumps like Medieval 2 or Empire.
Attila is based on the engine of Rome II, a trend that the studio has been following with the series for years. The big jumps--Medieval 2, Empire, Rome II--are iterated upon in between with releases that introduce new features and mechanics. Medieval 2 had the Kingdoms expansion, Empire had the standalone Napoleon, and now Attila is launching using the engine from Rome II.

Attila redraws the campaign map and political boundaries, jumping the the era of a split Roman Empire. One of its main draws is the Horde mechanic, which means some factions don't begin with set homelands and roam the landscape pillaging and looking for a place to settle. This of course includes the titular Attila's Huns, a scourage upon the land for the more 'civilized' factions. There are some additional features such as a new family try and politics system, and the design of the campaign map has been redone.
Total War: Attila is available on Steam for $44.99--you can watch the launch trailer below.
