With SEGA's announcement that the next Total War game would be Shogun 2, we managed to nab some artwork from the upcoming game.  Like the original Shogun, players will assume the role of Daimyo and attempt to unify Japan during its medieval civil war period. 

“Developing Shogun 2: Total War gives us the opportunity to use recent technology to portray one of history’s most exciting civil wars.” commented Mike Simpson, Creative Director at The Creative Assembly and father of the Total War franchise. “Ever since we developed Shogun: Total War 10 years ago, the team at The Creative Assembly has always dreamt of using our accumulated experience to revisit Total War in Feudal Japan.”

Promising "enhanced full 3D battles via land and sea" Shogun 2: Total War is expected to be releaed in 2011.  Keep checking back with The Wargamer for more information.
