Total War: WARHAMMER III 2022 Roadmap

Good day, Total War: WARHAMMER III fans! We know that many of you have been eager to know more about what the future holds in store for the game—especially as the team continues to evolve the foundational systems, address feedback from the community, and work towards major new projects: including the addition of new content, new game modes, and the highly-anticipated return of "Mortal Empires"—known officially in WARHAMMER III as Immortal Empires.

So today, we're offering a look into what we have planned for the rest of 2022—the first of many years of support planned for the game! As with any timeline, projects may shift in scope or timing; this is normal and expected, and we will work to update you on any changes in regular STATE OF THE GAME posts year-round. These will allow us to revisit what we’re working on, update you with any moment-to-moment changes to the content or schedule, and look further forward to future releases as they are prepared.

But for now, let’s take a closer look at Total War: WARHAMMER III in 2022!

We appreciate all of you who supported us over the past six years—since the first Total War: WARHAMMER released—and to everyone just now joining us as we create our most expansive game to date. Thank you!

This Total Warhammer 3 mod lets you paint Daniel any colour

If you opt to lead Chaos Undivided in Total War: Warhammer III, you get to meet the daemon prince who is now lovingly known by the player community as Daniel. Unique amongst the strategy game series' legendary lords, Daniel is fully customisable - well, almost fully. While you can unlock new arms, legs, horns, tails, and other various bits and bobs for Daniel, you can't control his skin tone... until now, that is. Thanks to the power of mods, now you can paint Daniel any colour you like.

The Daniel Painter mod by Marthenil gives you a nice palette of daemonic colours to use on your prince of chaos. While the colour selection is fairly basic, it covers the standard range with several shades per colour. If you're feeling a bit Nurgly, you can go with a sickly yellow or bilious green hue, while the Khorne-likers will probably stick with the more classic daemon candyapple red.

You can pick both primary and secondary colours for your daemon prince, too: the primary colour works pretty much like a base coat, with the secondary colour acting like a wash on top, that fills in all the nooks and crannies in the prince's model.

Total War: Warhammer 3 roadmap will lead the way this Friday

Developer Creative Assembly confirms that the Total War: Warhammer III roadmap for its DLC releases in 2022 will land this week - which will hopefully confirm a release window for the RTS game's next expansion, and maybe the Warhammer III Mortal Empires release date too.

The latest Total War is one of the best Warhammer games on PC, but despite Ogre Kingdoms releasing in February we really have no firm idea what further Total War: Warhammer III DLC expansions are coming to the strategy game this year - barring the release of the promised Mortal Empires combined map that unites all three Warhammer games into one epic campaign.

We won't have long to wait, as Creative Assembly has just announced that the Total War: Warhammer III 2022 roadmap will hit this week on Friday, April 29. It's still a little vague how much exactly the developer will share - whether the roadmap will just confirm update plans or DLC releases, especially Mortal Empires, is up in the air.

Total War NFTs? Creative Assembly aware of "concerns"

Its possible fans of SEGA's RTS game series don't want to hear about Total War NFTs, but they could be on the cards. With Total War: Warhammer III now out, developer Creative Assembly says it is aware of "differences of opinion and concerns" - but it has to follow any SEGA NFT plans.

NFTs remain a sore point in gaming. While publishers like Ubisoft and Konami support them despite opposition, Team17 cancelled its NFT plans shortly after announcing them, and others just call them a scam. SEGA hasn't announced any specific plans but recently suggested that its new games could use them and registered "SEGA NFT" earlier this year.

Creative Assembly is owned by SEGA, and in a new interview with 3DJuegos (via Google Translate), Total War: Warhammer 3 campaign designer Mark Sinclair acknowledges that the publisher has said a few things about NFTs and states that ultimately, "what [SEGA] says gets done". However, Creative Assembly is looking into "the issue of the environmental impact they have" and "understands everyone's differences of opinion and concerns" about NFTs.

Total War: Warhammer 3 mods are filling the Workshop fast

It took a little while, but Steam Workshop support for Total War: Warhammer III has finally arrived alongside patch 1.1. While that update made internal improvements to the game, like readjusting the Realm of Chaos campaign to be a little less punishing, many players have been excitedly waiting for the Workshop, which is already full of mods that have become essential over the course of the Total Warhammer series.

The Better Camera Mod from Total War: Warhammer and Warhammer II is already available for Warhammer III. Created by modder kam2150, the Better Camera Mod allows the camera to get closer and fly higher during battles. It's terrific for taking screenshots, sure, but it's also a huge help during large-scale battles when it can be difficult to see everything happening at once. You can press K to turn off the UI, or alt+K for a cinematic view. Pressing N lets you zoom into the action without units disappearing when they get too close to the camera.

The 'vanilla campaign' mod by Drunk Flamingo that we highlighted last month is now available in Steam Workshop click-to-install form. This one's simple: it disables Chaos Rifts from spawning, which means the campaign's narrative elements never trigger, and you're free to play a more traditional 'sandbox' Total War campaign in Total War: Warhammer III.
