As expected, Feral Interactive has announced today the availability of the Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai games on Linux and SteamOS platforms.

Developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega, Total War: SHOGUN 2 and Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai are turn-based strategy (TBS) games that feature real-time tactics, enhanced full 3D battles, which take place on both sea and land, and a thrilling clash of mechanized and medieval weaponry.

While the action in Total War: SHOGUN 2 is set in the middle of the 16th century of Feudal Japan, the Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai standalone sequel takes players on an action-packed, jaw-dropping adventure set against the modern world of 19th century Japan.

"The time has come for a new shogun! Command samurai, ninja and warrior monks in two spectacular Total War games featuring strategic gameplay inspired by the samurai code of honour. Embark on an epic conquest across snowcapped mountains, hilltop citadels and fields of cherry blossom," reads the announcement.

Both AMD Radeon and Nvidia GPUs are supported, also Intel
