SEGA and Creative Assembly plan to temporarily remove Total War: SHOGUN 2 – Complete Edition from sale and bring back the original game. The withdrawal concerns new purchases: existing owners will still be able to access and play the Complete Edition.
A launch that fell short of expectations
The Complete Edition launched on October 13, 2026, according to VGC. In an October 15 statement, SEGA and Creative Assembly said the release had fallen short of expectations and their own standards.
VGC reported player complaints about performance problems and bugs. The companies say they are investigating the issues.
Snackgirls react
Red: A new edition should have me itching to play. Hearing about bugs and performance problems instead is a letdown.
Nea: I hope new players can still discover the original years from now. Being able to actually play an older version matters to me.
The original’s return is being arranged
SEGA and Creative Assembly are working with platform holders to arrange the temporary withdrawal and reinstate the original. Those changes are planned, rather than announced as complete across every store.
No firm date has been announced for the original’s return or for improvements to the Complete Edition.
