Developer The Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA announced that fans of the Total War series of strategy titles can pick up the Gold Edition collection for Shogun 2, which includes the core game in the series, as well as the expansions Rise of The Samurai and Fall of The Samurai.

The three titles offer an entirely new take on Japanese warfare, complete with charging samurai and with an evolution process that sees firearms change the strategic core of the game.

Shogun 2 benefits from an entirely new graphics engine that adds even more details and variety to the battlefield.

The multiplayer mode has also been improved and now offers a more organic progression for the player and his avatar.

European and Australian gamers will get access to Total War: Shogun 2 Gold Edition on March 8.
