Total War: Warhammer 3’s patch 5.0 introduces a new wave of updates and content to the closing chapter of the trilogy. Its release date is scheduled to coincide with, or closely follow, the launch of the highly anticipated 2024 DLC, Thrones of Decay.
The release date for Total War: Warhammer 3’s patch 5.0 was meant to mark the culmination of the title’s content roadmap for 2023 before it was delayed by its developer Creative Assembly.
Total War: Warhammer 3 Patch 5.0 Release Date
The anticipated release date for Total War: Warhammer 3’s patch 5.0 was originally slated for winter 2023, before it was pushed back to 30th April, 2024, as the developer reasessed its approach to DLC, following recent fan backlash.
This update will coincide with the Thrones of Decay DLC, expanding the gameplay options for factions such as Nurgle, the Empire, and the Dwarfs.
