Total War: Warhammer 3 is a game about war, fighting, and daemons who claim the skulls of their enemies simply because it’s a very fun activity to do with your pals. Much like its predecessors, it’s also a game that has us wondering what its Blood for the Blood God DLC release date might be.
The Total War series’ Blood DLC has always been one of its most controversial elements, given the subject matter of both its historical and recent fantasy games. Warhammer 3’s initial lack of blood is perhaps even more egregious, given how Khorne has his own playable faction, but its release date shouldn’t be too far away.
Total War: Warhammer 3 Blood for the Blood God
“Much like Blood for the Blood God 2, it will be free for anyone who owns a previous version of the DLC for either WARHAMMER I or II. It will be released soon after launch,” the developer previously noted in a FAQ article that also confirms a Blood DLC is coming to Warhammer III.
Had it followed the same pattern as its counterparts from past entries in the series, Total War: Warhammer III’s Blood for the Blood God DLC should have gone live roughly a month after the game’s launch, placing its release date around mid-March.

That, however, didn’t happen. When the developer shared Warhammer III’s roadmap, in late April, it revealed that the game’s Blood DLC was expected to launch in Q3 2022.
In the second part of July, publsiher Sega revealed that Warhammer 3’s Blood DLC is set to launch alongside Immortal Empires and the Champions of Chaos Lords Pack, on August 23.
The third game in the trilogy is also a bit of an odd one in this regard. While you won’t see much of it when cutting enemies to pieces just yet, there’s at least one map that features an entire pool of blood located, unsurprisingly, within Khorne’s realm. Of course, it could be that the Lord of Skulls also has a deep love for ketchup.
The one silver lining regarding the DLC is how you won’t have to purchase it again if you’ve already done so for one of the previous entries in the series.
