The next 3.1 update releases in the last week of May. Fans of molten cores and big beards should be happy to learn that theImmortal Engines campaignis getting Chaos Dwarfs-themed content. The update also brings new units for the base game and a Legendary Hero.

Update 4.0 drags in the Shadows Of Change DLC that centres on the ongoing story of the Tzeentch, Cathay, and Kislev races, who are also getting updated. It’ll also bring achievements to Immortal Engines, and improve settlement battles too.

Blocks with text outlining what’s next for Total War: Warhammer 3

Update 5.0 rounds out the calendar year with the Thrones Of Decay DLC, focusing on the Nurgle, the Empire, and the Dwarfs. And “of course, more, more, more,” that’ll be detailed closer to the time. And finally, next year’s Update 6.0 will add another expansion and more freebies for all Twarhammerheads.

“There’s plenty more in the works that we haven’t even begun to touch on,” Creative Assembly said in aSteam blog, “ongoing performance, optimization, gameplay and mechanics improvements, the ideas we already have churning for our 2024 releases, and more.” The team say we’ll be hearing more of what’s new as we approach each update.

Nic Reuben hadgood things to sayaboutTotal War: Warhammer3’s last expansion, Forge Of The Chaos Dwarfs. Although, the game’s very smart AI kicked his butt: “There’s something grimly satisfying about watching my evil, bearded, be-hatted minions make a doomed last stand against an endless tide, even if said tide has been repeatedly crushing me from the last two hours with the same casual disdain they might pick fungus from their gnarled fingernails. Good AI is horrible.”
