The standalone expansion to the award-winning Total War: SHOGUN 2 explores the conflict between the Imperial throne and the last Shogunate in 19th century Japan, 400 years after the events of the original game.

A dramatic clash of traditional Samurai culture with the explosive power of modern weaponry.

Guide ancient Japan into the modern age, as the arrival of America, Britain, and France incite a ferocious civil war which will decide the future of a nation.

Features:

• Dramatic 19th century Japan setting
• Based on the backdrop of the Boshin War period, the new campaign starts in 1864, a time of growing resentment against Western colonial power and influence. As Japan begins to modernize and industrialize, the inevitable social and economic changes lead to increasingly militant nationalism and antipathy towards the Shogunate.

Play as a clan supporting the Imperial throne, or the last Shogunate:

• Shogunate clans: Aizu, Nagaoka, Jozai.
• Imperial clans: Choshu, Satsuma, Tosa.
