Following yesterday's leak, Sega has officially announced the development of Shogun 2: Total War.

Set in 16th century Japan, players become a Daimyo (clan leader) and must use military engagements, economics and diplomacy in order to re-unite Japan and become its undisputed leader, the Shogun.

As well as enhanced 3D battles, the sequel will also feature reworked AI which has been designed according to the principles of “The Art of War” by legendary military strategist Sun Tsu.

“Developing Shogun 2: Total War gives us the opportunity to use recent technology to portray one of history’s most exciting civil wars,” said Creative Assembly's Mike Simpson.

“Ever since we developed Shogun: Total War 10 years ago, the team at The Creative Assembly has always dreamt of using our accumulated experience to revisit Total War in Feudal Japan.”

Shogun 2: Total War is due to hit the PC in 2011.
