Total War Warhammer 3 Shadows of Change adds three new lords real soon

pcgamesn.com:

Total War Warhammer 3 Shadows of Change finally has a release date and full reveal, as the first of three upcoming Creative Assembly strategy game DLCs comes out later this month. There’s the Total War Warhammer 3 4.0 patch, free content, and the paid Legendary Lords, who we’ll break down below.

If you’ve been excited to learn more about the Total War Warhammer 3 roadmap ever since it was broadly outlined earlier this year, we’ve finally got loads of details and a release date for the first of three upcoming expansions, Shadows of Change.

First up, the Total War Warhammer 3 Shadows of Change DLC launches on Thursday, August 31, and you can get a 10% discount if you pre-order ahead of the launch. You can see the trailer for Shadows of Change below.

Shadows of Change also sees the arrival of Total War Warhammer 3 patch 4.0, which comes with free Legendary Hero Aekold Helbrass, improvements to campaign AI, garrisons, new landmarks for legacy factions, and expanded difficulty settings. With nine new Warhammer games in development, it’s great to see the amazing Warhammer 3 still get some love.

The main draw of Shadows of Change is the three new Legendary Lords, as the interconnected Tzeentch, Yuan Bo, and Mother Ostankya are coming to Warhammer 3. Yuan Bo has already had to fight Tzeentch’s forces before, with the two likely coming to blows here again.

Tzeentch has the benefit of minor schemes like building cults in enemy cities which can become grand schemes, and you can then build to the ultimate scheme to sow discord and secure victory.

Next up is Yaun Bo, who’s a master of sorcery and statecraft. He can rush construction in a single turn, and sow diplomatic discord to move armies through enemy territory unblocked.
