Sega, in response to terrible reviews and a wealth of complaints from players, has announced it is pulling Total War: Shogun 2 Complete Edition from sale while it "investigates" issues.
The original 2011 edition of the strategy sequel - which was controversially removed from sale ahead of the remaster's launch - is being reinstated... At least for the time being. Sega notes that anybody who has already purchased Shogun 2 Complete Edition will still have access to the game, but no new purchases will be possible for the foreseeable future.
Developed by Creative Assembly, Total War: Shogun 2 - Complete Edition was released on October 13 and has already received an "Overwhelmingly Negative" rating on Steam. Players and critics have pointed to numerous performance issues, a wealth of bugs (including old issues carried over from the 2011 release), and have accused the developers of using A.I. in the remaster's upscaled artwork.
It should be noted that the Steam page does not include an A.I. disclaimer. But clearly, in the eyes of the players (and reportedly the eyes of original Total War: Shogun 2 artist Roland McDonald), something is spectacularly 'sus in the game's overly-polished and frankly awful visual makeover.
For the time being, the community will have to play the waiting game while Sega investigates the situation.
