Total War: Warhammer 3 has faced challenges in the past year, but Creative Assembly is aiming to course-correct with the upcoming “Thrones of Decay” DLC. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know, including the release window and a new approach to pricing.
About Total War Warhammer 3
Total War: Warhammer III is a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game, the third installment in the Total War series set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. Developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega, the game was released in February 2022. It marks the series’ conclusion, taking players to the Realm of Chaos, a twisted dimension ruled by the Chaos Gods. Warhammer III offers both single-player and multiplayer campaigns, where players command various factions and engage in epic battles for dominance.
Total War Warhammer 3 Thrones of Decay DLC Release Date
While an official release date hasn’t been announced, “Thrones of Decay” was initially planned for April 2024. Recent developer insights suggest a possible launch this month, but May 2024 is also a strong possibility. Stay tuned for further updates!
Flexible Pricing for Flexible Players
This DLC marks a shift in how Creative Assembly delivers content. Players will no longer be forced to buy the entire package. Instead, you can purchase the Legendary Lords and units for each race separately:
- Complete Bundle: Purchase everything at a discounted rate of $22.92 (USD) / £19.10 / €22.92.
- Individual Packs: Each Legendary Lord and their accompanying units can be bought separately for $8.99 (USD) / £7.49 / €8.99.
- Completionist Discount: Buying individual packs grants a 15% discount on remaining packs upon completing the collection on Steam.
This approach, according to Total War Head of Community Adam Freeman, “is a new approach for us…something we feel is the right response” to recent pricing concerns. While described as a “one-time change,” its success could lead to more flexible purchasing options for future Warhammer 3 DLC.
The benefit of this structure is twofold. It makes the overall cost more manageable and allows players to pick and choose the Legendary Lords that truly interest them.
This is just the first glimpse into Thrones of Decay. Creative Assembly promises more information in the coming weeks, so stay tuned for a deeper dive into the content and mechanics of this exciting DLC.
