Greetings! Total War: WARHAMMER III's first update of 2023 brings the usual bug fixes and visual improvements, but most crucially of all it delivers a huge change - the Great Bastion into Immortal Empires has been breached!
Tomorrow (February 17th) marks a full year since Total War: WARHAMMER III was released. But being the impatient wee scamps we are, we just couldn't wait and have decided to kick off the celebrations today!
But before we get stuck into Update 2.4.0, let's cast our minds back...
Following the arrival of WARHAMMER III, the much-anticipated Immortal Empires launched on August 23rd and brought every race and Legendary Lord from the Total War: WARHAMMER series into one enormous campaign map to create the largest and most definitive Total War experience ever.
Immortal Empires launched in Beta, and over the last six months we’ve pushed updates both big and small to continually develop the campaign. As of today, the Beta tag has gone, and the firm foundations put in place since release will pave the way for even greater things – although that doesn’t mean that work has stopped on bug fixing or improving the areas of the game that still need work.
This is still just the beginning of Immortal Empires - there's so much more to come!
Until today, players had to own WARHAMMER I, WARHAMMER II and WARHAMMER III to brave the challenge of Immortal Empires. Now, everyone who owns WARHAMMER III can dive right into the core Immortal Empires experience, regardless of the other titles. Plus, DLC can now be purchased separately for those that want to try out a new faction – perhaps one that bested you on the battlefield?
Opening up this epic campaign to all WARHAMMER III owners is something we are pleased to offer, and the game’s one year anniversary felt like the perfect time to do this for all to enjoy. It’s a really exciting time and the perfect start to what is going to be a very exciting year.
In the here and now, if you cast your eyes above you can catch our brand new Immortal Empires showcase! Incidentally, it might be worth your time sticking around until the end of the video for a sneak peak at... something. The impending arrival of a fiery Chaos on the world of WARHAMMER III may not be a huge shock, but fear not - it'll be here before you know it. Besides, the time for fear comes later...
Here are some of the highlights from Update 2.4:
Immortal Empires is now available to all WARHAMMER III owners!
Karak Eight Peaks is now a ten-slot settlement for the Skaven... yes-yes...
Malus's quest battle for the Warpstone of Khaine is now in the Chaos Wastes, closer to his starting position.
Fixed a variety of visual/graphical glitches such as clipping capes, snapping models and broken animations.
Garrisons are no longer reinforcements and now enter the battle from the start.
Fixed a multiplayer desync that could occur when an Empire player chose to Summon the Elector Counts.
Coedill will no longer immediately enter the battle instead of reinforcing once the Waystones are destroyed in Drycha's quest battle.
Interrogating Grom the Paunch in Athel Tamarha as Eltharion now correctly gives Mistwalker units the ability to mirror Grom's Big Waaagh ability.
Fixed an issue where Boris Ursus wouldn't gain supporters while the Invocation of Dazh is active.

Greetings! The WARHAMMER III rollercoaster continues this month with Update 2.3 which, while not as hulking as last month's mahoosive update, still offers a decent chunk of fixes, changes and improvements. Barring potential hotfixes, this is the last update we'll have for you in 2022.
Before we get going, we wanted to mention the State of the Game post that dropped last month. We were delighted that many of you found it interesting, but are also aware that there are concerns and questions you have that weren't touched upon. Fear not, brave adventurer - although we can't always talk about everything we're working on, we are listening, and we have another State of the Game post planned before Christmas that will take a broad look at the topics you've been talking about.
So, without further ado, here are some of 2.3's highlights:
Customisable Endgame Scenarios make their way to multiplayer.
The eight original WARHAMMER I Lords receive brand-new selection videos.
Landmarks from Mortal Empires and the Realm of Chaos maps arrive in Immortal Empires, along with some new landmarks and 10-slot settlements for select factions.
Further tweaks to the victory objectives of several Legendary Lords including Kislev, Tomb Kings and the Ogre Kingdoms.
A sweep of balance changes to Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts, Skaven and more.
Changes to how the AI dodges spells, artillery and other ranged attacks, along with new difficulty adjustments.

War never ends and we're always keeping close eye on your feedback - so please keep it coming. Everything you tell us helps us best decide where to focus our efforts for the next update, so let us know your thoughts and feelings about Update 2.3 and WARHAMMER III via our official channels:
Update 2.3 is currently expected to be WARHAMMER III's final update of 2022, unless of course any issues should arise requiring a more immediate fix. We'll talk a little bit more about the game's roadmap as we head into 2023 (including 2.4, 3.0 and other assorted chaotic happenings) in a State of the Game post coming next month.
As always, we look forward to facing you in battle!

Greetings, Total War: WARHAMMER III fans! Welcome to State of the Game, which is our deep dive into all things Total War.
Join us as we talk to our developers about two topics that always seem to get you chatting:
We catch up with Senior Designer Craig Kirby about the past, present and future of Endgame Scenarios in Total War.
We also talk to Lead Campaign Designer Mark Sinclair about WARHAMMER III’s recent issues with Settlement Battles, what’s been done about them and what the future holds.
We take a brief glimpse ahead at what's in the works as we head into the New Year.
Today we are releasing a small hotfix to address two problems that have arisen in WARHAMMER III following Update 2.2:
Fixed an issue where units resurrected by a healing spell had their healing cap removed, granting them immortality.
Addressed a scripting error that would sometimes prevent Immortal Empires from launching when using modded factions and races (thanks to the modding community for bringing this to our attention).
We are, as always, keeping a close eye on our official channels for other issues that may crop up post-2.2, so please keep the feedback coming. We’ll see you on the battlefield.
Total War: WARHAMMER III - Update 2.2.0
Greetings, WARHAMMER fans! We hope you're sitting comfortably, because Update 2.2 is here and it is, in technical parlance, a 'whopper'! It's been a little over a month since our last big patch in the shape of Update 2.1, which served to fix some of the problems flagged up before our huge 2.0 release. But now we're ploughing full speed ahead into the feedback we received after the launch of 2.0 and Immortal Empires, and this chunky ol' update is the result!
Here are some of the highlights:
Changes to settlements and garrisons to reduce the frequency of settlement battles.
Additional flavour for some of the special settlement garrisons—including Karak 8 Peaks, Black Pyramid, Skavenblight and more—by allowing them to use additional units.
A character experience rebalance, reducing the importance of victory types and focusing on enemy unit destruction.
Tweaks to the victory objectives of several legendary lords, including those of the Lizardmen, High Elves and Empire.
A game mode split option has been added to ranked multiplayer, letting you join separate queues and giving you greater control of your online experience.
Adjustments to AI aggression, strategy and overall game difficulty.
Plus, monsters are invading the old world in the form of Regiments of Renown III, and a new endgame crisis brings ruin-death to all! Yes-yes...
And that's just a small taste of what we've got for you! For a complete look at everything crammed into 2.2, check out the full patch notes through the link:
The work never stops! Update 2.3 rapidly approaches and is currently due to land in November. Until then, we’re as always very keen to hear everything you’ve got to say about WARHAMMER III, Immortal Empires and 2.2.0, so please do reach out to us through all the normal channels. Your feedback helps the game be as good as it can possibly be!
This is going to be WARHAMMER III's final patch of 2022 before we ramp back up again in the first quarter of 2023. Update 2.3 is expected to focus on bug fixes and balance changes that weren't quite ready for this release, as well as fixes to any issues that may bubble up over the next few weeks. As a result, it is expected to be lighter on content than 2.2.
As always, we look forward to facing you in battle!
