The Creative Assembly has released a new piece of DLC for Total War: Shogun 2 that adds decapitations, limb serving and buckets of blood to the feudal Japanese battlefield. The pack has a suitably higher age rating of 18 and is
available from Steam for 99p.
CA says that ‘
the Total War battle engine has been re-engineered for the ultimate in visceral conflict. Intricate new animations enable your Samurai to carve a bloody, limb-strewn path through enemy armies.’ and other effects include blood squirts from projectile and weapon impact, new sounds for spurting blood, blood-spatter camera effects and ‘
giblets from cannon and musket fire.’ Crivens.
The Blood Pack can be disabled and enabled via the game’s Options menu.
CA has also released the
Hattori Clan Pack as DLC, for £2.99. This was originally bundled with Shogun 2: Limited Edition and lets you play as the ninja-happy clan online and in singleplayer. The clan has access to ‘
the most powerful battlefield ninja’ (does anyone actually use battlefield ninja?), an extra historical battle and extra armour and XP for your Avatar.
