Total War: Warhammer 3 is making one of the series' greatest ever campaigns free for all owners

Total War: Warhammer 3's first update(opens in new tab) of the year has made a big change to its Immortal Empires campaign. Launched in beta, Immortal Empires has, up to now, only been available to players who own all three Total Warhammer games. But now Creative Assembly is peeling that beta tag off, and making the campaign freely available to anyone and everyone who owns plain old Warhammer 3.

That means, so long as you own the game, you can now play the Immortal Empires campaign with the base races and Lords. Those are the Demons of Chaos, Grand Cathay, Khorne, Kislev, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch, and the Warriors of Chaos.

However, if you really, desperately want to play a race associated with a DLC for 1 or 2, you won't need the game it's tied to in order to buy it. The example Creative Assembly gives is that you could, for example, buy Total War: Warhammer 2's Rise of the Tomb Kings DLC without owning Warhammer 2, which would give you access to such wonderful names as Settra the Imperishable and Grand Hierophant Khatep in the third game's Immortal Empires campaign. That sounds like a pretty niche consumer demand for Creative Assembly to cater to, but it's always good to give players more options.

It's good news, then, that the devs are swinging the campaign's doors wide to let everyone get a shot at it.
