Creative Assembly exec pins the blame for the Shogun 2 remaster mess on someone else: 'This was not a Creative Assembly developed game'

Creative Assembly exec pins the blame for the Shogun 2 remaster mess on someone else: 'This was not a Creative Assembly developed game' Roger Collum says Creative Assembly was "focused on our next big projects," and didn't pay enough attention to the work being done by an "external developer." Excitement over the Total War: Shogun 2 remaster turned to a very different emotion when it launched and turned out to be quite bad—so bad that Sega pulled it from sale just a couple days later. Now, Roger Collum, vice president of Total War at developer Creative Assembly, has posted an update on the situation in the Total War subreddit (via RPS), saying that the studio, like the fans, are "angry and disappointed" about the state of the game—which he says is not really CA's fault. The studio has previously worked on games including The Blood of Dawnwalker, Silent Hill 2, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, The Medium, and numerous others. 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
