Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai

[Shawn Zipay]

Sega just busted a er... uh... a new trailer on everyone's faces yesterday for Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai.

This is, according to Wikipedia (as that's where all the cool kids get their sources on games they have no clue about), a standalone expansion to Total War: Shogun 2 that is set during the "Meiji Restoration, when the threat of Western powers forced Japan's government to modernize and eventually abolish it's old Samurai-based feudal system."

It's apparently coming out in March of 2012.

This, this right here is quality journalism.

As long as I don't see Tom Cruise I'm happy.

Yeah, it looks great. Looking forward to the holiday sales and pick this and the other things up.

I heard you can't actually play as any Imperial(EU, USA) power =\ I hope i'm wrong though!

Im not worried about that. Those forces didnt invade Japan anyway, just sold them weapons and traded before the rise of the Bamboo Curtain.

From what I read you can play as France, UK and USA. None of these countries invaded but helped to modernize Japan (it went further to just selling weapons), of course they had their own interests in mind.
