Total War Warhammer 3 DLC modes land for free alongside Chaos Dwarfs

pcgamesn.com:

There’s new, free Total War Warhammer 3 DLC on the way when TWW3 update 3.0 arrives on April 13. The Mirror of Madness DLC for the fantasy strategy game adds two brand new game modes and will be available to all Total War Warhammer 3 players for free. The two modes include an intense survival challenge format, and a “reality-bending” mode that enables players to dramatically alter the way TTW3 plays in dramatic fashion.

When it releases alongside Total War Warhammer 3 update 3.0, you’ll be able to find the Mirror of Madness mode on the Battle tab from the game’s main menu. There, you’ll have access to two modes – Trials of Fate and The Infinite Portal. The former is a struggle for survival through infamous battles from Warhammer history, while the latter puts control directly in your hands with a wealth of gameplay-altering settings to tweak.

The pair of modes arrives alongside the incoming Total War Warhammer 3 Chaos Dwarfs DLC on April 13, but you won’t need to purchase the Chaos Dwarfs to play the two Mirror of Madness modes. They will be freely available to all players of Total War Warhammer 3 when update 3.0 releases.

The Trials of Fate are “a series of intense survival challenges where players assume the role of a newly ascended Daemon Prince of Tzeentch.” You’ll have to fight against endless waves of enemies that grow ever stronger, defending an object called the Shard across four battles from the past, before taking the fight to Kairos Fateweaver in a climactic showdown.

It’s not all bad news, however – you’ll have “unique spells and abilities” at your disposal to help survive this ultra-challenging mode. You’ll be able to upgrade these using Forbidden Knowledge, which is accumulated as you defend the Shard from
