Best Bad News Yet for Future Updates in Total War: Warhammer 3

The Tides of Torment, the upcoming downloadable content for Total War: Warhammer 3, will not be released in the summer as originally planned. Instead, fans will have to wait until later in the year, with September being the earliest possible window according to a recent blog post.
Despite this delay, there is some good news for fans of the game. The blog post hints at exciting updates that are in the works for the future. The reason for the delay, as stated in the blog, is that the content did not meet the team’s standards, indicating that the development team is committed to delivering high-quality content and is not willing to rush out an inferior product. This delay gives them the necessary time to refine the DLC, ensuring that players receive a polished and well-crafted expansion.
One of the highlights of the upcoming content is the introduction of Sea Elves, led by Sea Lord Aislinn. More details about this new faction are expected to be revealed in an upcoming video in August.
Siege improvements are also on the horizon, with updates coming to the Proving Ground beta branch later this month. Despite initial skepticism from some characters in the game, such as Sigvald, the development team has shown their ability to address and improve various aspects of the game through clever updates. This has sparked optimism among players regarding the upcoming changes.
In August, players can expect quality of life improvements for Lizardmen and Tomb Kings, as well as updated starting traits for these factions. Additionally, generic Greenskin characters will receive skill line buffs, enhancing their abilities on the battlefield.
Looking ahead, the blog post mentions the possibility of introducing smaller DLCs that focus on a single Legendary Lord or Hero Unit, along with other additions. This approach aims to cater to specific character requests that may not fit into the current DLC formats. The first of these smaller DLCs is hinted to feature a beloved character, possibly Neferata, a Vampire lord.
Furthermore, the blog post alludes to a major content pack that will be announced at CA’s 25th-anniversary celebration in December. This pack is described as one of the largest ever created for the Total War: Warhammer trilogy, generating speculation among fans about its contents and impact on the game.
Overall, the future looks promising for Total War: Warhammer 3, with the development team working on a range of updates and expansions to keep players engaged and entertained. While the delay of Tides of Torment may disappoint some fans, the commitment to delivering high-quality content and the prospect of exciting future updates are reasons to look forward to what lies ahead in the world of Total War: Warhammer 3.
