The next installment in the Total War: Shogun 2 saga is around the corner, and we've jsut learnt the juicy pre-order details.
The next battle-filled episode in the Total War: Shogun 2 saga is coming up in March, and so far the Fall of the Samurai is looking suitably epic. Set during the turbulent years of the 19th century, it follows the contact between fuedal Japan and the industrialised west. It's like The Last Samurai, but with no annoying Tom Cruise!
And not that the pre-order deals have just been announced, there's even more to get excited about.
They're pretty neat, actually. Rather than deliver a mere few units or similar in-game bumpf, there are three pre-order options that each deliver a whole unique faction!
