Strategy fans and Warhammer enthusiasts, mark your calendars! Creative Assembly and SEGA have officially confirmed the release date for what is set to be the single biggest DLC expansion in the 10-year history of the strategy trilogy.

Total War: WARHAMMER III – Lords of the End Times is scheduled to drop on 24. September 2026 across Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store.

Whether you’re a hardened veteran of the Old World or a newcomer eager to jump into the fray, this expansion promises to dramatically reshape the apocalyptic landscape of Total War: WARHAMMER III.

What’s Included in Lords of the End Times?

Inspired by the iconic, end-of-the-world Warhammer lore, the expansion introduces four massive Legendary Lords, each bringing unique campaign mechanics, faction goals, and devastating battlefield rosters:

• Nagash, Supreme Lord of the Undead: The ultimate master of necromancy returns to drain the life from the world and ascend to godhood. He builds life-sapping necropolises and wields the all-new Lore of Undeath.
• Boris Todbringer: The beloved Elector Count of Middenland fights to defend the Empire, rekindle the flame of the wolf-god Ulric, and finally settle his grudge against Khazrak One-Eye.
• The Glottkin: Three terrifying brothers blessed by Nurgle who fight as a single monstrous unit, spreading rot and cultivating demonic Gardens of Corruption.
• Grey Seer Thanquol: The scheming Skaven mastermind returns atop his trusty Rat-Ogre bodyguard, Boneripper, orchestrating secret “Masterplans” to turn total chaos into victory.

Alongside these headline lords, the pack includes 8 Legendary Heroes, 23 new Battle Units (including the massive Khemric Titan and terrifying Verminlords), 12 Regiments of Renown, and fresh tactical mechanics like a revamped fortification system in siege battles.

A Game-Changer for New Players

In a massive first for the franchise, you do not need to own the base game of Total War: WARHAMMER III to play the campaign.

Purchasing the Lords of the End Times DLC—either as a complete bundle or as individual character packs—automatically unlocks access to the sprawling Immortal Empires sandbox campaign mode. This makes it the most accessible entry point into the series yet!

Huge Free Update & Vampire Counts Rework

Alongside the paid DLC, Creative Assembly is rolling out a massive free update for all existing players.

The update features:

• Neferata joining the roster as a free Legendary Lord.
• Complete gameplay reworks for the Vampire Counts and Archaon the Everchosen.
• New End-Game Scenarios, including Nagash Rises, Vermintide, and Chaos Invasion.
• Overhauled victory conditions for legacy Legendary Lords.

Final Thoughts

With apocalyptic scales, fan-favourite characters making their long-awaited debuts, and game-changing access for new players, Lords of the End Times is shaping up to be the ultimate celebration of Warhammer strategy gaming.

Pre-orders are live now across Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store ahead of the September 24 release. Prepare your armies—the end of the world is just getting started!
