Total War: WARHAMMER III - Immortal Empires is Here!!! (SEGA & The Creative Assembly)

Total War: Warhammer III Immortal Empires has official been launched this month, with Patch Notes 2.4.0 update. It has been on beta stage since last year, but now it should be available to everyone.

Total War: Warhammer III has previously only featured it's own campaigns and not connect it's new factions (Grand Cathay, Ogres and different Chaos hosts) to other realms. Until now. Personally I think this is the most exiting update, finally, on Total War: Warhammer -series, as it now expands the battlefield to almost entire Warhammer World (World-That-Was). Why did I say almost? Well, it seems that Ind, Khuresh and Nippon are not available, but we still should be able to sail and fight around the Warhammer World nicely.

During the last summer they already gave us map of the game world. This Total War: Warhammer III - The Immortal Empires Map -link will take you to that blog page on the official blog.

Total War: WARHAMMER II is soon publishing DLC, which will bring the Norsca and the Norse finally to WARHAMMER II -setting (among other things).

The second in a trilogy and sequel to the award-winning Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II brings players a breathtaking new narrative campaign, set across the vast continents of Lustria, Ulthuan, Naggaroth and the Southlands. The Great Vortex Campaign builds pace to culminate in a definitive and climactic endgame, an experience unlike any other Total War title to date.

Playing as one of 8 Legendary Lords across 4 iconic races from the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, players must succeed in performing a series of powerful arcane rituals in order to stabilise or disrupt The Great Vortex, while foiling the progress of the other races. Each Legendary Lord has a unique geographical starting position, and each race offers a distinctive new playstyle with unique campaign mechanics, narrative, methods of war, armies, monsters, Lores of Magic, legendary characters, and staggering new battlefield bombardment abilities.

Shortly after launch, owners of both the original game and Total War™ WARHAMMER II will gain access to the colossal new combined campaign. Merging the landmasses of The Old World plus Naggaroth, Lustria, Ulthuan and the Southlands into a single epic map, players may embark on monumental campaigns as any owned Race from both titles.

Total War: WARHAMMER - Isabella von Carstein DLC

In life, the daughter of Sylvania’s mad count Otto Von Drak was much like any other of her noble counterparts: vain, immoral and selfish.

Upon her father’s death, the first and greatest of the Vampire counts, Vlad Von Carstein, seized the reigns of the province, and was duly married to Isabella. She was soon drawn to Vlad’s intense charisma, and he in turn came to rely upon her unquestioning support and devotion absolutely; what began as a marriage of convenience transformed into a partnership of legend. As she lay dying from a wasting disease, Vlad granted her the Blood Kiss, and she joined him in eternal undeath.

Now, Isabella is a powerful Vampire in her own right, and may be seen stalking the front lines bearing the Blood Chalice of Bathori. When she joins Vlad on the same battlefield, their combat prowess is multiplied, each standing shoulder to shoulder with their beloved in death!


New Legendary Lord joins the forces of Vampire Counts: Isabella Von Carstein. Actually - Isabella off course joins Von Carstein faction with her beloved Vlad Von Carstein. She is free to download from Steam.

Total War: WARHAMMER - The King and The Warlord DLC announcement!

"The time is nigh for Clan Angrund to reclaim Karak Eight Peaks from the Grobi despoilers! Belegar Ironhammer, clan leader and direct descendant of King Lunn, the last Dwarf to rule the ancestral hold, has inherited a bitter legacy of hatred and resentment. Even now he marshals his throng, making ready to strike out from Karak Izor. With the spirits of his fabled ancestors returned to fight by his side, Belegar will see his oaths fulfilled, and pass into legend himself.

Meanwhile Skarsnik, the self-proclaimed Night-Goblin warlord of Karak Eight Peaks, has taken leave of the hold. On a squig-hunting excursion in the Grey Mountains east of Brettonia, he operates from his base at Karak Azgaraz when word reaches him of Belegar’s intent. Worse still, the tricksy Goblins minding Karak Eight Peaks have taken the hold in defiance of Skarsnik’s iron will. Intolerable, sneaky, mutinous gits!

Two legends, then: both hell-bent on claiming the ancient Dwarf-Hold for themselves. Their destinies entwined, The King and the Warlord must face one another in a final, desperate battle to determine the true ruler of Karak Eight Peaks." -text taken from the official site

Total War: WARHAMMER - The Grim and the Grave DLC

"Ever-devious and ever-ruthless, the Unliving Aristocracy summons forth horrifying new threats to unman the forces of The Empire. Smelling blood on the tainted air, the Strigoi Ghoul Kings stir from their stale catacombs, while Mannfred’s darkest student, Helman Ghorst, pauses in his damnable studies and readies the Corpse-Carts for battle.

But the proud men of The Empire do not stand idly by in the face of such unholy threats. Even now the call goes out, and all eyes turn to Volkmar The Grim, Grand Theogonist of The Cult of Sigmar. Pious and forbidding, Karl Franz’ staunchest ally calls forth his Arch Lectors and rides into battle on the War Altar of Sigmar, a sight to strike terror even into the unbeating hearts of The Undead.

Man versus vampire: legend versus legend.

The Grim and The Grave."
