Medieval II: Total War is a strategy game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega for Windows PC. It is part of the Total War series and is a sequel to the non-Sega published Medieval: Total War. In Japan the game is called Medieval 2: Total War Nihongo Ban (メディーバル２：トータルウォー日本語版) as with several other Sega Japanese localizations.

The game is set in the Middle Ages between 1080 and 1530, and covers the regions of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, as well as the Americas later in the game.

On Steam, the game was sold on its own or with Kingdoms DLC as the "Complete Pack", which was later renamed Medieval II Gold and then Medieval II: Total War Collection. In November 2018, the Complete Pack became the default version and was renamed Total War: MEDIEVAL II - Definitive Edition.^[14]
