In an attempt to encourage people to stay home during the coronavirus pandemic, Sega is offering the Total War: Shogun II game for free until 1 May. The free game will be available through Valve’s Steam platform for PCs. Sega, in a blog post, said, “Within this epic homage to Feudal Japan, players can recreate an iconic clash of traditional samurai culture, build vast empires from Fukushima to Hitachi, or enact cunning schemes through spy and assassin networks.” [caption id=“attachment_8305181” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] Total war: Shogun II[/caption] If users download the game during the specified time, it will be theirs to keep.

Those who downloaded the game during the specified dates were allowed to keep World War Z.
