A "prototype" of Total Warhammer 3's Mortal Empires map has been datamined

Creative Assembly has confirmed that a datamined version of Total War: Warhammer 3's combined map is actually a "very old prototype". The strategy game's spin on the Mortal Engines map will be "big", though "nothing else is final at the moment".

Not long after the game launched, fans pulled a vast list of regions from the new PC game's files. While we know that Ind, Nippon, and Khuresh are "probably never" coming to Total War: Warhammer 3, the datamined list still suggested a hulking mass of land to conquer could be on the cards. According to Three Moves Ahead producer Leana Hafer, the list featured "about 40% more total settlements than Mortal Empires", which would have been pretty wild. A picture of the map itself was also dug up, which gave us a sense of its scale.

A representative of Creative Assembly who goes by the username Pete_CA then confirmed on Discord that the datamine is a "very old prototype version of the map". They do add, though, that the combined map "will be big", though "nothing else is final at the moment". So sit tight, folks.

Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC: Ogre Kingdoms, Blood pack, and more

So, you want to know about Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC? The new strategy game from Creative Assembly caps off an exciting chapter in Total War history, where players are transported to the iconic Warhammer Fantasy tabletop setting. Total War: Warhammer I and II both had their fair share of post-release expansions, and Creative Assembly has left plenty of hints that there will be more Warhammer III to come as well.

While it's early days, we've put together a guide collecting everything we know so far about Warhammer 3 DLC, as well as engaging in some speculation in terms of what we think could be coming down the line. There are still new races that could be introduced, as well as existing factions that could be easily fleshed out for the main campaign.

There are also a few bits that, while not announced in the formal sense, have been confirmed as being on the way at some point after launch, so we've included all the details we know so far about those too. Without further ado, here's everything we - and now, you - know about Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC.

How to fix Total War: Warhammer 3 fps issues on Alder Lake CPUs

The Total War: Warhammer 3 release date is finally here, and we think it's "a triumphant step forward for the series on almost every front" in our review. Sadly, some players are experiencing performance issues while playing the RTS game, and it's not due to any influence from the Chaos Gods. Developer Creative Assembly is actively working to address these problems, and has provided some solutions which should help boost fps on Intel Alder Lake systems.

While 12th Gen Intel Core processors are some of the best gaming CPUs around, their hybrid architecture of performance and efficiency cores isn't playing nice with some videogames, including Total War: Warhammer 3. Thankfully, resolving this meddlesome incompatibility merely requires the creation of a text file in the game's scripts folder.

We expect that Creative Assembly will deploy a patch to address this mild but nonetheless annoying headache, but for now we've put together a guide that you can use to increase performance on your Alder Lake gaming PC down below.

Total Warhammer 3 is out now, but performance is a problem

Almost six years after the historical strategy action of Total War crashed into Games Workshop's wacky fantasy world of Warhammer, the trilogy wraps up today with Total War: Warhammer 3. Oh I'm sure expansions will follow, and the game-joining Mortal Empires campaign is still to come, but Total Warhammer 3 is here now. Sadly, the launch is somewhat blighted by many players suffering serious performance problems.
