Sega and The Creative Assembly have officially announced Shogun 2: Total War, the sequel to the original Total War game launched way back in 2000 and published by EA.
A quote from the press release:
"Developing Shogun 2: Total War gives us the opportunity to use recent technology to portray one of history's most exciting civil wars." commented Mike Simpson, Creative Director at The Creative Assembly and father of the Total War franchise. "Ever since we developed Shogun: Total War 10 years ago, the team at The Creative Assembly has always dreamt of using our accumulated experience to revisit Total War in Feudal Japan."
The game takes place in the middle of the 16th century in Feudal Japan. You take the role of a Daimyo (clan leader) and your goal is to unite Japan under you flag and become the new Shogun. Shogun 2: Total War will be released on PC next year.
