Why did SEGA change Total War's name?
By Robert Purchese @ Eurogamer
For a decade, Total War games have followed the same naming convention - but Shogun 2 will change all that.
Why?
"Both Creative Assembly and SEGA have intended to invert the Total War naming convention for some time," a SEGA spokesperson told Euroagmer.
"The Total War series of games spans over 10 years of titles. We wanted to identify all of these as one series using a more obvious naming convention for players."
"Revealing the new title with the Shogun 2 box art was the opportune time to do so," the spokesperson added.
The new game will be known as Total War: Shogun 2.
It's coming in March next year and represents both a change and a nod to the game that kicked the Total War series off: Shogun. A decade of improvements has gone into Shogun 2, but the geographical scope has been reigned in from Empire: Total War, allowing Creative Assembly to focus on the minutiae. And the romance of feudal Japan where be Samurai of legend with their menacing curved blades.
