So far, all we've seen of the new Shogun 2: Total War game has revolved around the game's campaign and strategic aspects. Today, Creative Assembly has shifted the pre-release hype of the game into higher gear with the release of the Battle trailer focusing on Shogun 2's in-game real time battles. It's no surprise that it looks better than anything else the Total War series has had to offer, and returns the game to its Japanese roots.
