Total War Blog

As I’m sure you’re all undoubtedly aware (else we’re clearly not doing our jobs properly!), Rise of the Samurai is out TODAY on Steam. Keep checking your games list – it’ll be going live later this afternoon UK time.

In the run-up to this exciting day, we invited a very select group of some of the biggest TW fans we could find and let them go hands-on with Rise of the Samurai for a whole day. So rather than have us talk about the features in Rise of the Samurai any more, we thought we’d hand over the reigns to some of the chaps who attended.

First up, LionheartX10, who many of you will know from his excellent YouTube channel (and that spoof video of the Napoleon intro). He regularly posts on Total War Center, too.

We also had the inimitable Jackie Fish in the house. Both got to check out our brand new, swanky meeting rooms in the newly-fitted out downstairs floor here at CA towers. We’ll be posting a full tour of that jazzy floor in the coming weeks (except the top-secret bits), but in the meantime, enjoy Jackie’s video, below:

I promise myself and Will aren’t paid by the appearance for these things. If you’re keen to familiarise yourself with Rise of the Samurai, you could do a lot worse than checking out our trailer, below.

And if you’re quick, you might be able to bag yourself a Rise of the Samurai key on our official forums (sign up required).
