Well it's about time! The original STW was great but the engine is now way outdated and the Far East is long overdue a revisit.
However I would hope for a bit more than just the original 16th Century setting with eight clans. I'd personally love a "long campaign" that starts around the 12th Century (Horse & Bow Heroes!) and progresses taking in potential Mongol, Chinese and Korean rivals as well as tactical and weapon developments.

This. Sweet jesus I am beyond excited at this point, as long as they don't mess it up, will be quite fantastic. Always thought Medieval Japan had far more appeal than Rome, Medieval Europe, etc.Quote:

To me the music in Empire was simply lack luster with very little variation. The new additional music for Napoleon was quite a bit better---what there was of it.
The music of Shogun was a huge factor in the over all immersion of the game and will be hard to duplicate.
I'm looking forward to it although I wanted something with more artillery. I just love those big guns.
Well he is. Jeff Van Dyke is doing the music for S2TW according to this thread: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...un-2&p=2502461
If true, that is very good news.Quote:
