The Total War: Warhammer 3 Immortal Empires campaign everyone's been waiting for finally has a release date
Total War: Warhammer 3's gargantuan Immortal Empires campaign is five weeks away. We've known since last month that it would be appearing in August(opens in new tab), and in a developer Q&A published today Creative Assembly finally gave us the specific date: August 23.

We won't, for instance, be visiting the Realm of Chaos seen in the main Warhammer 3 campaign. It makes sense. The whole point of the system was this race to defeat daemon princes in survival battles, traversing maps with no construction or conquest. It's such a specific system, and one tied to a specific story, that it would be an awkward fit for Immortal Empires. Also, the Realm of Chaos proved to be pretty divisive. I enjoyed it for a few campaigns, but Immortal Empires' appeal is that it isn't like the more experimental Realm of Chaos campaign—it's a more traditional conquest-focused deal. But massive.
I don't see this changing, but that isn't to say other changes to the campaigns and maps won't occur. In fact, they're pretty much guaranteed. "[Warhammer 3] is going to be an ever-evolving, ever-changing campaign," says game director Richard Aldridge. «We know we're going to be adding loads of new content over the course of time for you to enjoy, so expect years worth of fantastic experiences ahead. And I dare say we will change the map and who's in it and everything else
