Total War: WARHAMMER III Drops Biggest Expansion Yet: Lords of the End Times

Ever wanted to plunge the Warhammer world into apocalyptic chaos? Total War: WARHAMMER III just dropped its biggest expansion yet, and it's bringing the end times in style.

Lords of the End Times introduces four new Legendary Lords to Immortal Empires, the ultimate sandbox that combines all three games in the trilogy. You're getting Nagash, the Supreme Lord of the Undead, who can recruit units from across undead races and aims to turn the world into a Land of the Dead. Then there's Thanquol, the Skaven's most ambitious (and accident-prone) mastermind, riding his Rat Ogre bodyguard Boneripper. He's all about deception, sabotage, and elaborate Masterplans that don't always go as intended. The Glottkin are a trio of corrupted siblings serving the Plague Lord, spreading disease and decay. Otto wields a scythe, Ethrac brings sorcery, and they ride atop their brother Ghurk, a colossal Chaos Spawn. Finally, Boris Todbringer, Elector Count of Middenland, leads from the front with his legendary sword Legbiter, commanding Empire soldiers and devoted followers of the wolf god Ulric.

But that's not all. The expansion arrives alongside one of the biggest free updates in the game's history. Crowning it is Neferata, the Vampire Queen, a new Legendary Lord who uses secret vampire covens to manipulate rival factions from the shadows. Just note that Neferata is only free if you own Nagash or any Vampire Counts-related content. The update also brings major changes for the Vampire Counts and Archaon the Everchosen, plus three new end-game scenarios inspired by Warhammer's most infamous apocalyptic events. Updated victory conditions for every legacy Legendary Lord and a host of additional improvements round out the free update for all players.

Now, here's the game-changer: for the first time in the series, purchasing any part of Lords of the End Times grants access to Immortal Empires, even if you don't own any of the base games. That means a single purchase is enough to jump straight into the apocalyptic action and start building your collection from there. You can buy the complete bundle with a 15% discount or pick up individual DLCs to build your collection your way.

If you're new to Total War: WARHAMMER, there's never been a better time to join. The barrier to entry just got a whole lot lower, and the content on offer is massive. Whether you want to spread plagues, command the undead, or lead the Empire to glory, Lords of the End Times has something for you.

So, what do you think? Will you be picking up Lords of the End Times, or are you just here for the free update? Let us know in the comments!
