Total War: Warhammer 3
Total War: Warhammer 3 is the third and final entry in Creative Assembly's Warhammer trilogy, released in February 2022. The combined Immortal Empires campaign map (August 2022) brings together all the content of the three games in one huge sandbox, with more than 80 legendary lords and every Warhammer Fantasy faction. Its hybrid of turn-based campaign and real-time battles makes it the most complete and most played Warhammer title, but also the most controversial over DLC and patches (Shadows of Change was a turning point for the community).
