Shogun 2: Total War is the Total War title that will be released by Sega and the Creative Assembly. As in the original Shogun: Total War, the game will take place in fuedal Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, or Warring States era, when various clans competed for control of Japan. The game is currently in a Pre-Alpha stage, and as such there is not much definite information about the game. A recent article from IGN hints at a smaller number of units (around 20 per faction), more focus on the story and characters, the return of pre-battle speeches, upgradable generals, (more) sea battles including a rock-paper-scissors system.
Features
A highly controversial new Hero System has been announced, whereupon each faction shall have a Hero that can sway the tide of battle, almost unstoppable. IGN reports that 'hero units are a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield, capable of holding bridge crossings against entire armies, or smashing through a battle line to engage the enemy general'. This may seem overpowered, however The Creative Assembly has reported that they are simply 'Highly ranked elite units' and 'available at the top of the tech tree'. The Creative Assembly has also posted in the official Yuku forums that they will not be able to take on an entire army. This new system is receiving mixed reactions and mixed reports from IGN and The Creative Assembly.
