This content will be free for all owners of Shadows of Change, whether past, present or future. We’ll go into what’s arriving in WARHAMMER III during these patch notes, but if you’d like a more detailed look at not only the new arrivals to the game, but how they were conjured up as well as some other intel, you can swing over to a trio of blog posts penned by WARHAMMER III’s own Senior Game Director, Rich Aldridge:

Before I get into all the details about what to expect with Kislev, I'm excited to confirm that Patch 4.2 will launch on Thursday, February 22.

As I alluded to in our last blog on Tzeentch, the team have been working hard to get this exciting new content into your hands and we can't wait to hear what you think. Next week, we're thrilled to say that Black Library author David Guymer is back with a brand new short story on the Witch of Kislev, and on Wednesday, we'll be publishing the full Patch Notes for Patch 4.2 so that you can get caught up on what to expect when this all new content drops for Shadows of Change.

Before we dive straight into things, if you haven't already, check out our [url https://totalwar.com/blog/wh3-soc-update-cathay]Grand Cathay and [url https://totalwar.com/blog/wh3-soc-update-tzeentch]Tzeentch blogs to see what else is coming to Shadows of Change in Patch 4.2.

Patch 4.2 Shadows of Change Content Additions - Part 2: Tzeentch



Hi everyone,

Before I get into the details on the new additions for Tzeentch, I wanted to talk to you about the release date and where we are as of today. The team are still working flat out to finish things up and we found a few things at the start of this week that we need to address before handing things over to you.

I'm really pleased to say that the team is making great progress through these last few changes and we are still on track to release to you later this month, but the release won't be this week (which we had originally been trying really hard to hit). I'll be back later this week with more information on the extra characters and units coming to Kislev, as well as to update you further on the release plans.

Before we dive straight into things, if you haven't read the last blog entry which focused on Grand Cathay, you can do so here.

[h3]Tzeentch Additions[/h3]

Listening to your feedback on characters and units which you have shared with us since the release of Shadows of Change, we have focused on improving the melee offering at Tzeentch’s disposal for their Lords and Heroes. Tzeentch will always be a magic-heavy focused race, but we understand having those hard-hitting frontline generals and heroes are important in balancing out your armies. This is exactly what we have added to the roster for you in the form of the Chaos Lord of Tzeentch and the Exalted Hero of Tzeentch. We have also taken the opportunity to add a further two new units into the DLC for Tzeentch, which are covered in detail in the full blog post linked below.

I’ll be back later this week with my final blog on the great nation of Kislev and the new characters and units that they will be receiving as a part of Patch 4.2.

Total War dev looks to "put right" its most controversial DLC

Controversial Total War Warhammer 3 DLC Shadows of Change is getting a free update with new heroes, lords, and units, as developer Creative Assembly admits the expansion pack "didn't give you enough new characters and units to play with at the original release." Slammed at launch for a higher price point than past DLC despite offering slightly less than those previous iterations, Shadows of Change will now get an upgrade. CA says this will represent a new format as it looks to make "many more [pieces of] DLC," and that even players without the pack will get some new, free content when TWW3 update 4.2 arrives.
