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 disappointment when it launched and was found to be of poor quality, leading Sega to pull it from sale just days later. Creative Assembly's vice president, Roger Collum, posted an update on the situation, stating that the studio, like fans, is angry and disappointed about the game's state.
Collum clarified that Shogun 2 was not developed by Creative Assembly itself, but rather by an external studio, Mataboo. He emphasized that this was not a fault of their own, as they had not been involved in the game's development. Despite this, Creative Assembly takes responsibility for the game's shortcomings and intends to rectify the situation.
The investigation into the remaster is ongoing, with senior Creative Assembly developers collaborating with Sega and Mataboo to determine the next steps.
