Rise of the Samurai: Official Trailer

This is the Rise of the Samurai DLC for the strategy title, Total War: Shogun 2, released in 2011. As an independent campaign, it requires the base game and shifts the focus 400 years earlier to the Gempei War, centering on the conflict between the Taira, Minamoto, and Fujiwara families leading to the first Shogunate. Gameplay retains the core loop of turn-based campaign management combined with real-time tactical battles, but introduces a new map, six distinct clans, and historical objectives specific to this foundational era of feudal Japan.
