What’s next for Total War: WARHAMMER III
Total War
July 19 2021
Welcome back to TotalWar.com! Today we’re giving you some information about what you will see next for Total War: WARHAMMER III. Rather than leave you in silence (& fury), we wanted to tell you we’re taking a break from WARHAMMER III news over the course of the next month or so. No major trailers, no feature reveals, no screenshots or concept art, as we prepare for the next phase of communication.
When we come back for more on WARHAMMER III – currently we’re aiming at some time in September – we will be lifting the lid on the mysterious and majestic empire of Grand Cathay. Designed in our long-standing collaboration with Games Workshop, we’re almost as excited about finally showing it off as you are about playing it. It’s a land of harmony, of great celestial cities and dragons, and of one of the most powerful armies in the world.
With the Grand reveal will come information on siege battles, as the incredible power of the Old World’s largest empire must stand resolute against the tides of Chaos, their Great Bastion holding firm. We will show you not only unique elements for Cathay, but also the general system changes that support every siege battle going forward.
Beyond that we will return to the Realms of Chaos to further introduce the violent antagonists of the Warhammer World. But then, when it comes to the Ruinous Powers, why wait?
Below you’ll find some of the work we’ve been doing on the horrors that will crawl out of the Northern Wastes and the Chaos Realms to feast on the emotions, knowledge, and flesh of the mortal races. Whether you conquer your daemons or lead them in WARHAMMER III, each and every one of these monstrosities will become intimately familiar.
Slaanesh Roster Tease
Exalted Chariot of Slaanesh
Great steeds of destruction that carry the most powerful Slaaneshi daemons to war. The blades are a secondary concern to being caught by whatever is riding it.
Daemonette
Part dancer, part warrior, all daemon(ette), they are unbelievably quick on the battlefield.
Tzeentch Roster Tease
Herald of Tzeentch
One of Tzeentch’s most basic creatures ascended far beyond its normal station, with a vast array of magic to back it up.
Soul Grinder of Tzeentch
Fallen daemons of Tzeentch, bound to a machine and sporting incredible, long-range firepower.
Nurgle Roster Tease
Rotfly
The flying, corpse-consuming heralds of the Plague God.
Nurgling
Sneaky, poisonous offspring of Grandfather Nurgle.
That’s all we can show you today – you’ll see much, much more about these units in our usual roster reveals further down the line.
Shortly after we come back, we’ll also be fulfilling your hunger for the early adopter bonus with news of what that will contain. Further still, well, I’m sure we can dig something out to keep the hype train moving, and we’ve even got some major surprises we very much doubt you’re going to see coming.
WARHAMMER III is a massive game, much of which we’re still to show.
Not just in terms of the continued support we plan to do far into the future with DLC and Free-LC, but also in day one minor systems reworks and features we haven’t even mentioned yet. Things like diplomacy upgrades, UI changes, tutorial improvements, and much more. We’re looking forward to showing you all that as well.
In the meantime, WARHAMMER III isn’t the only thing we have in development. Keep an eye on our socials for some of that.

The latest update will bring back some missing campaign landmarks

Creative Assembly has released update 2.3.0 for Total War: Warhammer 3, which closes out 2022 with a “large number” of returning campaign landmarks and changes to the game’s AI.

Update 2.
3.0 is available to download today (November 22), and the patch notes detailing the latest changes have been published by Creative Assembly.
As one of the patch’s bigger changes, a “large number of landmarks” and 10-slot settlements from the Mortal Empires and Realms of Chaos campaigns have been added to Immortal Empires. Additionally, new landmarks have been added for each of the four Chaos god’s factions.

For multiplayer modes, Creative Assembly has added endgame scenario customisation – meaning players can choose which endgame crises appear in their session. An “Ultimate Crisis” mode has also been added for multiplayer campaigns, which allows the host to enable every endgame scenario to trigger at once during their campaign.
Elsewhere, AI behaviour has been tweaked to address complaints regarding computer-controlled units dodging artillery too well.
“Whereas before the AI was proactively trying to evade spells and artillery regardless of difficulty setting, this behaviour will now change based on the selected difficulty setting,” explains Creative Assembly.
As a result, AI on easy difficulty will not try to dodge any incoming spells or artillery – while units on the highest difficulty will try to dodge all projectiles, including smaller fire such as arrows.

While these are the biggest changes, update 2.3.0 also brings plenty of balance changes to the game’s various factions – you can see the more in-depth tweaks here.
Looking ahead, Creative Assembly has shared that this will be Total War: Warhammer 3‘s final update of 2022. However, another ‘State of the Game’ post – which will touch on the game’s roadmap going forward – will be published in December.
While no specific downloadable content (DLC) has been announced just yet, the studio teases “other assorted chaotic happenings” will be discussed in next month’s post. The wording of this suggests Creative Assembly will talk more on Warhammer 3‘s rumoured Chaos Dwarf faction, which it has teased in several previous articles.
Earlier in the month, Sega shared that it had been left “worried” about Total War: Warhammer 3‘s initial sales figures, but the game’s post-launch updates delivered a “major recovery.”
