Total War: Warhammer 3’s Lords of the End Times expansion launched on 24 September, bringing the world-ending events of Warhammer Fantasy’s setting into the game and prompting a sharp rise in Steam activity. The article describes a fivefold increase, comparing roughly 19,000 average concurrent players before release with a subsequent peak of 102,000. It reports that this is the game’s highest activity since August 2022, suggesting substantial renewed interest.

The expansion adds four legendary lords, including the necromancer Nagash, eight legendary heroes, additional lords and heroes, 24 regular units, 12 regiments of renown and a new endgame. According to the article, purchasing this DLC also allows players to access Warhammer 3’s Immortal Empires campaign without owning the base game. The writer speculates that this could be among Warhammer 3’s final major updates, citing Total War: Warhammer 40,000’s expected release next year and promised decade of support. That assessment is the writer’s opinion, rather than a confirmed decision about Warhammer 3’s future.
