Lords of the End Times land in Total War Warhammer 3 Sept 24

Get ready to face the End Times on a whole new level. Creative Assembly has announced that the highly anticipated Lords of the End Times DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3 will hit the Steam store on September 24th, promising a monumental shift in the game’s sprawling world.

The reveal wasn’t just about a date; it was accompanied by a cinematic trailer that sets the stage for some truly legendary chaos. While the broader lore of the End Times might seem grim to some, the new content introduces factions and mechanics that promise epic, unpredictable carnage for players willing to embrace the madness.

The core of this expansion revolves around four new Legendary Lords, each bringing a distinct flavor of apocalyptic power to the battlefield. For instance, playing as Nagash, the Supreme Lord of the Undead, will involve gathering his Mortarch lieutenants and legendary books with the ultimate goal: ascending to godhood and reshaping the world into a global skeleton zone.

Chaos is certainly at the center of this expansion. Players choosing the Glottkin, the Rot-father’s favored special boys, will sow the Gardens of Nurgle, introducing beneficial plagues and demonic Nurgle units straight from their festering depths. Meanwhile, scheming as Thanquol, one of the infamous Skaven, means mastering the art of plotting—and managing all the collateral damage caused by his grand, destructive plans.

The developers are hinting that while things won’t always go according to plan in this apocalyptic setting, players will have the opportunity to see their schemes realized. This emphasis on calculated destruction suggests a deeply rewarding gameplay experience where strategy and sheer mayhem intersect.

Beyond the new Lords, Creative Assembly is ensuring that existing content remains fresh and exciting. The studio has committed to substantial free game updates coinciding with the DLC launch, including gameplay overhauls for iconic factions like Vampire Counts and Archaon, alongside new end game scenarios and reworked victory conditions for every legendary lord.

Perhaps the most generous part of this announcement is the access it offers to the entire epic. Purchasing any Lords of the End Times DLC—whether individually or as a bundle—will provide full access to the massive Immortal Empires campaign mode, even if you don’t currently own any Total War: Warhammer games.

It sounds like the perfect time to dive back into grand strategy. With the Lords of the End Times DLC launching on September 24th, players can step into a new era of total warfare and reshape the fate of the realm.
