Total War: WARHAMMER III's 'Lords of the End Times' DLC Arrives September 24th

Creative Assembly has announced Lords of the End Times for Total War: WARHAMMER III, set to release on September 24th. The studio describes it as the biggest DLC in the franchise's ten-year history.

What's included

• Four new Legendary Lords added to the Immortal Empires campaign
• A collection of new units and lore-inspired features accompanying each lord
• A free update described as "game-changing" arriving alongside the paid content
• A bundle discount of 15% for purchasing all four lords together, with individual lords also available separately

The more consequential structural change may be the access model. For the first time in the series, purchasing any of the Lords of the End Times content grants entry to the Immortal Empires campaign without requiring ownership of any prior Total War: WARHAMMER title — a notable shift for a campaign that has historically demanded multiple games as prerequisites.

The announcement was published on August 13th, 2026, and links to a separate full DLC overview for further detail.

For longtime players, the free update alone warrants attention; for anyone who held off on the trilogy's sprawling grand campaign due to its entry cost, the new access terms clear the most significant hurdle.
