Total War: Warhammer 3 adds End Times endgames, Vampire Counts rework, Nurgle champions

Creative Assembly revealed new End Times endgame events, a Vampire Counts rework, and Nurgle champions during its What's Next livestream. The update introduces three cinematic endgame crises (a Vermintide variant, a Nagash event tied to the Lords of the End Times DLC, and an Archaon-focused finale) and shifts many midgame crises to power up factions. Archaon’s finale includes special mechanics like a large ward save, lieutenant-based weakening, razing effects, and broader confederation ability. Siege rework is planned for patch 9.1; patch 8.1 and Neferata remain in development.
