The Shogun cluster covers unrelated works sharing the name. As of the newest story, Bandai's Super Minipla Ninja Gattai Muteki Shogun reprint is scheduled to ship in February 2027 after taking first place in a fan vote. No single throughline connects the coverage.
The Shogun name appears across several unrelated works in the cluster with no single throughline. Only one story concerns a live-action Shogun: production on Shogun Season 2 wrapped in Vancouver after nearly 200 days of shooting that began in January, with Hiroyuki Sanada returning as lead actor and executive producer, Cosmo Jarvis, Fumi Nikaido and Shinnosuke Abe among returning cast, and Ren Meguro, Asami Mizukawa and Masataka Kubota joining for a season set 10 years after the first.
Three stories cover plastic model reissues. Bandai's SMP candy toy line is reissuing Super Minipla Ninja Gattai Muteki Shogun, the combining robot from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, after it placed first in a fan vote for requested reprints held for the line's 10th anniversary. Reservations open on Premium Bandai on Friday, October 2, 2026 at 13:00, priced at 6,930 yen, with shipping scheduled for February 2027. Separately, Good Smile Company is re-releasing the MODEROID plastic model of Mazinger ZERO from 'Shin Mazinger ZERO vs Ankoku Daishogun' in January 2027.
The remaining stories concern video games. SEGA Europe and The Creative Assembly announced Total War: SHOGUN 2 - Complete Edition, which bundles the base game, Rise of the Samurai, Fall of the Samurai, faction packs and content updates, adds Japanese and Chinese voice and subtitle support, and releases October 14 on Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. Shogun Showdown and Mindcop were free on the Epic Games Store for one week starting September 18 at 12:00 AM, with Shogun Showdown as a turn-based roguelike and the only one of the two supporting Japanese.
