Creative Assembly will be having lots of free DLC released for Total War: Warhammer after the game launches this year, and now they have just detailed what the plans are for that process. The game will be supported for several months post-launch, with the free DLC bringing new units, Heroes and a brand new race.
Brand director Rob Bartholomew said the following regarding the free DLC plans:
“The Warhammer Fantasy Battles World is gigantic, and we’re looking forward to exploring it over the forthcoming trilogy. But that incredible cast of characters and monsters also provides us the chance to make lots of interesting Free DLC to support our games over time.”
Scroll down for a list of what to expect from the free DLC for Total War: Warhammer later this year.
