We’ve got a handful of new screenshots (courtesy of the folks atVG247) from Creative Assembly’s upcomingShogun 2: Total War, and all of them show some things in common:cherry blossom trees.
Sure, they also have a Japanese medieval setting, warfare, and samurai in common as well, butas with the littlesashimonoflags, it’s all about the pink cherry blossoms. And it fits! After all, it’s believed that cherry blossoms are pink because the roots of the trees absorb the blood of fallen warriors. And many warriorswillfall, because the game is aTotal Wargame. It’s practically a given at this point.
More importantly forTotal Warfans, though, the big new reveal is of the campaign map, where all the turn-based development, diplomacy and conquest happens. Andman, that’s a pretty campaign map. It looks like someone wanted to turnMuramasainto a strategy game. It’s got fog, visible rice fields, cherry blossom trees, and a lot of style. Hopefully the next trailer will cover that gameplay,since the last one covered the real-time tactical stuff.
