Sega has announced a new expansion for Total War: Shogun 2 titled "Rise of the Samurai", which will take players through a new independent campaign set 400 years earlier in the 12th century, during a conflict between six clans in the Taira, Minamoto and Fujiwara families.

 

The campaign features 3 new families divided into 6 playable clans, along with 16 new land units spread across swordsmen, spearmen, archers and cavalry, as well as 10 new naval units and 3 new naval special abilities (“Banzai!”, “Whistling Arrows” and “Rally”) as well as four new agent types with their own unique skill trees in the game. The game will introduce four new Hero units including the Naginata Warrior Monk Hero, the Tetsubo Warrior Monk Hero, the Mounted Samurai Hero and the Onna Bushi Heroine.

The developers released a new trailer for the game; check it out in the video below. The expansion will be available sometime later this month.

I bought it some time ago and I didn't found a way to actually start it. So it was a preorder lol? Damn didn't saw that.

Besides, Shogun crashes every 30 mins to me so burn in hell Shogun!! I ain't playing it anymore.

I haven't decided about this one yet, i've played the original release too much, and there's tons of other games coming out right now. I'll probably get this in the spring.

And i don't remember it crashing even once. I must be super lucky :)

Some % of people have really serious problem. I love the game and the series and it crashes all the bloody time. Updated drivers, did some windows tweaks. Nothing helps. Bought new mobo, CPU, RAM recently. It didn't helped AT ALL. Graphic card... dunno. But there's decent sum of Shogun 2 CTD threads around the net, so I'm not the only one.

Playing the game just fine now myself, and the new mini campaign will be welcome (just watched "13 Assassins" and am in the mood for some Samurai action).
