A new trailer has been released for Total War: Shogun 2’s latest DLC. Known as Rise of the Samurai, the add-on extends the campaign and is completely independent of the original game. The new campaign takes place 400 years before the original Total War: Shogun 2 story and depicts the Gempei War, a historical strife between six warring clans of the Minamoto, Taira, and Fujiwara families. This was very conflict that brought the Samarui to power as the ruling class and led to the formation of the Shogunate to rule over Japan.
More details from the press release:
“The campaign features 3 new families divided into 6 playable clans as well as 16 new land units, 10 new naval units and 3 new naval special abilities (“Banzai!”, “Whistling Arrows” and “Rally”). There are four new Hero units for players to control: the Naginata Warrior Monk Hero, the Tetsubo Warrior Monk Hero, the Mounted Samurai Hero and the Onna Bushi Heroine. In addition to these four new agent types with their own unique skill trees in the game.”
Check out the new trailer for “Rise of the Samurai” above and expect the new independent campaign for Total War: Shogun 2 to arrive in stores by the end of this month.
