While Araby may not be coming to Total War: Warhammer III (or any Total Warhammer game, for that matter), Warhammer II has still got some life in it as we approach the release of its final expansion, The Silence and The Fury.
In a new video update (below), Creative Assembly wanted to remind us all how generous the studio is by highlighting all of the free content that's been released for Total War: Warhammer II since it was released back in 2017. To be fair, there's a decent amount, although it's mainly singular units and legendary lords, so your mileage will vary depending on the faction.
At the end of the video, there is a teaser for the next (final?) bits of free content coming to the strategy game. It seems everyone will be getting a new free legendary lord, and Total War Access members will receive a new unit, and "new reinforcements", whatever that means. As a reminder, TWA is Creative Assembly's free loyalty program. It's kind of under-utilised, but every now and then members will get free bonus content like this.

Finally, the Beastmen are getting their due thanks to the final Warhammer 2 DLC pack, The Silence and The Fury. Announced at the start of June, this new expansion will give everyone's favourite faction a much-needed face-lift, as well as introduce new content for the Lizardmen as their nemesis.
According to CA's lead community and social media manager Grace Carroll, the full roster reveal for the new expansion will come next month ahead of the pack's release on July 14, but that hasn't stopped the passionate fans of the Total War subreddit engaging in some wanton speculation.
Unlike other Total War games, Warhammer II has the benefit of being able to look at the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop game to see what miniatures were released for any given faction. There is also a reported leak from the game's Chinese-speaking community that allegedly shows unit cards from the new expansion, although the authenticity of these has yet to be verified. The Beastmen speculation is the more compelling out of the two.
