Today Creative Assembly dropped a video summarising all the tweaks coming with the Shogun 2 remaster. One of the coolest additions for me, was that we're getting updated cinematics in traditional Japanese woodblock style.

Don't worry, though, there's also a toggle that lets you revert the cinematics back to the originals if you prefer the nostalgic experience, so you can still enjoy your Shinobi fumbling assassinations in the funniest ways possible.

When not scouring games for secrets or bashing his head against puzzles, you'll find him revisiting old Total War campaigns, agonizing over his Destiny 2 fit, or still trying to finish the Horus Heresy.
