The cataclysmic conclusion to the Total War: Warhammer trilogy is coming. Rally your forces and step into the Realm of Chaos, a dimension of mind-bending horror where the very fate of the world will be decided. Will you conquer your Daemons or command them?
Story
Far beyond the world and its petty wars there exists a dimension of pure, malevolent magic: The Realm of Chaos. It is a terrible place, incomprehensible to the mortal mind. It whispers promises of power, but to behold it is to be seduced by it. To relinquish your soul to it. To become it. The four Ruinous Powers rule over this place, ever seeking to slip their bonds and engulf the world in a tide of daemonic corruption. Nurgle, the plague god; Slaanesh, the lord of excess; Tzeentch, the changer of ways; and Khorne, the god of blood and slaughter. On the border between the worlds, two mighty kingdoms stand sentinel: the stern warriors of Kislev and the vast empire of Grand Cathay. But each is beset by its own trials, and now both have cause to cross the threshold and send their armies into the Realm of Chaos. The world stands on a precipice. A single push will plunge it into cataclysm. And there is one who schemes to achieve just that, an ancient figure who desires nothing less than to wield supreme power. But to succeed, he will need a champion… The coming conflict will engulf all. Will you conquer your daemons? Or command them?
What is happening now
Total War: Warhammer III is a real-time strategy game set in Games Workshop's fantasy universe, released in early 2022 across PC, Mac, and Linux. The game has continued to receive substantial post-launch support through both paid and free content updates. The game recently received its largest DLC expansion to date, Lords of the End Times, which arrived in September and notably no longer requires ownership of the base game to play. The expansion introduces four new Legendary Lords tied to Warhammer's apocalyptic lore. Alongside this paid content, Creative Assembly released a free update overhauling the Vampire Counts faction and introducing new end-game scenarios. The publisher has also periodically discounted the game during sales events.
