NARRATOR: Total War combines turn-based strategy gaming with stunning real-time battles.
-
Players take command of nations, armies and generals as they battle for ultimate victory.
-
With breathtaking detail and unparalleled historical accuracy,
-
Total War allows the player to recreate and change the course of history.
-
In 2011, the award-winning Shogun 2 offered new AI,
-
streamlined controls and a host of multiplayer features.
-
In the Fall of the Samurai standalone expansion,
-
The Creative Assembly have created the largest expansion pack ever for a Total War game.
-
It's taking us into areas we've never been to before in Total War. It's getting closer and closer to the modern era.
-
I think it's exciting because it's the latest any Total War game has ever been to the modern day,
-
the closest any Total War game has been to the modern day,
-
and with that brings a lot of really interesting, different game features,
-
a lot of scope in terms of how fast the game moves
-
and how quickly your armies are deployed across the map, how many different types of units are available.
-
NARRATOR: Set 300 years later than the original game, The Fall of the Samurai sees the clash of traditional samurai culture
-
with the explosive power of the Early Modern world.
-
It's the late 19th century, which means that it's got some of the most advanced technology seen in a Total War game.
-
So you've got torpedo ships or field artillery, all that kind of stuff that actually makes it feel quite different from
-
particularly Shogun 2, which is obviously set in the 16th century.
-
NARRATOR: This industrial age is the most recent period ever covered in a Total War game,
-
offering new game mechanics to please and challenge fans.
-
I mean, Japan actually started to build railways in this period or slightly afterwards.
-
Railways on the campaign map have quite important strategic influence,
-
in that they allow you to move armies incredibly quickly.
-
So as you capture more and more of the territory of Japan, you remove your armies around very effectively,
-
and it's really important for bringing your best troops to the front.
-
NARRATOR: Fall of the Samurai doesn't require the original Shogun 2 game,
-
and easy-to-follow tutorials will show new players how to command the action.
-
It's a standalone expansion, so it's not a game add-on as, as such, that you need the original game in order to play it,
-
but it's a fully standalone version of the game itself.
-
NARRATOR: The game begins with the Boshin War in 1869,
-
a dramatic turning point in Japanese history.
-
The ruling Shogunate is trading with the West,
-
allowing new ideas to change Japan.
-
Growing unrest ignites rebellion,
-
which threatens to overthrow the Shogun and restore the Emperor to power for the first time in six hundred years.
-
The Shogunate had ruled Japan for hundreds of years, since the time of Shogun 2,
-
but people were getting more and more agitated as the Shogunate kind of opened up Japan to foreign influence.
-
And so there was a movement called "Revere the Emperor, expel the barbarians,"
-
and it eventually boiled up into full-blown rebellion where whole domains rise up
-
and try and overthrow the Shogunate.
-
NARRATOR: The player chooses a clan and decides whether to remain loyal to the Shogun
-
or to fight for the Emperor.
-
Every clan has their own unique strengths and challenges: civilian, diplomatic or military.
-
Each faction within an allegiance has its own clan trait, which gives it a very specific play style.
-
Like, you might have one who is more open to modernisation or trade,
-
in which case they'll have a access to cheaper modern units, more money from trade with Western powers...
-
Or you may have some who are just the opposite.
-
NARRATOR: In the next trailer, we'll find out how the campaign and the real-time battles have been reimagined and redefined.
-
Fall of the Samurai is a whole new experience and an ambitious entry into the Total War series.
