New patch video outlines extensive changes coming to Total War: Warhammer 3 tomorrow

Creative Assembly has published a new video detailing a lengthy list of updates coming to Total War: Warhammer 3 (opens in new tab) tomorrow, as the studio gears up for release of its Champions of Chaos (opens in new tab) DLC and beta access to the massive Immortal Empires (opens in new tab) campaign. Titled “Patch Notes 2.0”, the video charts various additions and changes coming to the base game, all of which will be free.

First off, the update introduces several new game mechanics to Warhammer 3. This include “Gifts of Chaos” which provide “god-given boosts” to your chosen faction. These can range from enhanced abilities for specific unit-types, to more passive bonuses like extra ammunition for ranged units. There’s also a new settlement structure for vassals, and warband recruitment, letting you recruit mercenary units from throughout the realms.
