Get your best Kurosawa robes washed and ready - SEGA's superb strategy epic Total War: Shogun 2 is headed back to shops in a robust and generous Gold Edition. In its original release, the game won awards from IGN, Gamespot and Game Informer, not to mention a BAFTA for Best Strategy Game. It's that good.
Only available as a physical boxed product - none of your dishonourable digital downloads for these brave warriors - the lavish set includes Total War: Shogun 2 plus the two seriously beefy expansions, Rise of the Samurai and Fall of the Samurai.
Also included are ten additional content packs: Dragon War Battle Pack, Hattori Ninja Clan Pack, Ikko Ikki Warrior Monk Clan Pack, Otomo Gunpowder Clan Pack, Saga Clan Pack, Obama Clan Pack, Tsu Clan Pack, Sendai Clan Pack, Saints & Heroes Elite Clan Pack and Sengoku Jidai Elite Clan Pack. Phew. Say domo arigato to the nice Mr. SEGA.
Wrapped around this three-disc feast is exclusive swanky packaging, with a glossy black cover and stylish Wajima Nuri design. That's an intricate kind of traditional Japanese lacquered artwork produced in the town of Wajima in the Ishikawa prefecture, but you probably knew that already, right?
Total War: Shogun 2 Gold Edition is due exclusively for PC on 8th March.
