Creative Assemblyhas announcedthe next DLC expansion to their already sprawling strategy game,Total War: Warhammer 3. It’s good news if you’re a fan of the Khorne, Ogre Kingdoms, or Orcs & Goblins (not me) because theOmens of Destructionhas you in mind. In addition, all players will receive a content update.
LikeThrones of Decay, the DLC comes in three packs, which covers each of the factions listed above (Khorne, Ogre, Orcs & Goblins). Man, this game is a tangled mess of terminology. I’ve put well over 200 hours into the series, and I still can’t really figure out exactly what this press release is trying to say. All right, I’m going to make myself look like a fool, so I’ll just paste what the press release has written:
SKULLTAKER, THE HERO SLAYER (KHORNE)
Khorne’s immortal champion and the greatest of all Bloodletters, Skulltaker is ever seeking worthy skulls for his master. Scanning the battlefield for the enemy’s greatest champion, he bellows his challenge before moving in to end yet another storied life.
Battle Playstyle:
New Units:
One of the most infamous of all Orc Warbosses, Gorbad Ironclaw knows but one language, and that is war. Unique amongst his race due to his rare mix of brain and brawn, he has become an inspiration amongst his kind for “invasions done propa.”
GOLGFAG MANEATER, THE MERCENARY (OGRE KINGDOMS)
One of the most successful Ogre mercenaries of all time, Golgfag Maneater forged a reputation for the Ogres as fearsome killers for hire long before they became a relatively common sight in the mercenary armies around the world.
Thanks, press release. You’ve always been there for me. I don’t play as any of these factions, though. Or, at least, I haven’t yet. I mostly play the Dark Elves, Vampire Lords, or Beastmen. They haven’t received any love for a while, so maybe the next DLC will be looking at me.
Regardless of whether or not you want to buy any of the DLC, everyone will be receiving a free content update in patch 6.0. To once again quote the press release, this contains, “Legendary Lord, Arbaal the Undefeated, the champion of Khorne who has seen thousands fall beneath the crimson arc of his axe. Alongside this, a faction update will arrive for the Ogre Kingdoms, Khorne, and Orcs & Goblins.” Cool! Neat, I guess.
Honestly, after a lot of player outcry, Creative Assemblyrevamped its DLC strategystarting withThrones of Decay, which was delayed a few month into earlier this year. They promised to make their DLC more meaningful and worthwhile, and it would appear that worked, at least from a community perspective. A lot of their earlier DLC and expansions sit with Steam ratings of Mixed or Mostly Positive, whereas all the Thrones of Decay packs are at Very Positive. Hopefully, theOmens of Destructionwill continue this goodwill.
Total War: Warhammer 3’sOmens of DestructionDLC packs and bundle will arrive on August 05, 2025.
