Confused about what’s coming in the next patch? Got your DLC mixed up with your Free-LC? Take a look at this graphic to find out what goes where with the upcoming release of The Hunter & The Beast.

All the content will go live at approximately 3PM BST on Wednesday 11th September.

The Old Friends are coming to WARHAMMER II – Gotrek and Felix are making their way into the game and you may be able to recruit them…

Gotrek effectively functions as a Lord, and Felix is a Hero that accompanies him. This means they can function as an army just by themselves, and you can send them off around the world on adventures of their own, or supply them with troops and have them function in the same way as your other armies. Although with a rather powerful pair of characters leading it!

The legendary adventurers and mercenaries will be available to everyone for free through Total War Access from 17th October but if you want to get them early, they’re also available in September’s print issue of White Dwarf magazine.

Questions? We bet you’ve got some but before you ask, make sure we haven’t already answered them here: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-ii-gotrek-felix-faq/

Adventure awaits…

Are you ready for the Empire Undivided Update? To find out more about the Empire overhaul, Slann rework, bug fixes and balance improvements arriving on September 11th, take a look at the patch notes: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-warhammer-ii-patch-notes-the-empire-undivided-update/

Please note that the next update we’re planning will focus more on technical maintenance and quality-of-life improvements, rather than faction or race overhauls, which will then resume in subsequent future patches.

Gor-Rok, or the Great White Lizard as he is known, is a veteran Saurus Warrior with the scars to prove it. Fighting side by side with the venerable Lord Kroak, he forms the solid centre of a Lizardman battle line – the rock upon which Itza’s enemies are broken.

Gor-Rok is the Free Legendary Lord arriving with the release of The Hunter & The Beast. For more information about him, take a look at his Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1074321

Introducing… War Wagons, mobile battle towers outfitted with a number of death-dealing instruments.

Whether equipped with Handgunners, Mortars or a Helblaster Volley Gun, these horse-drawn death machines will ensure that none escape the Empire’s fury. https://youtu.be/0-4XNn2yfys
