It’s been a little while since we’ve heard any news regarding the incredibly popular, BAFTA award winning Total War: Shogun 2, however Shogun 2 fans will be rejoicing at today’s Steam release of the The Otomo Clan Pack.
The DLC includes the new Otomo faction, a clan of gunpowder pioneers whose dealings with the Portuguese saw them converting to Christianity, as well as new buildings, new units and of course a new, customised tech tree.
Owners of Total War: Shogun 2 and its stand alone expansion, Fall of the Samurai, will also benefit from the release of a free patch which aims to reduce loads times, base install size and other bug fixes detailed here.
