Creative Assembly begs Total War: Warhammer fans to come back with upgraded DLC that adds a giant terracotta warrior

Following last year’s expensive Shadows of Change DLC, the Total War: Warhammer 3 community’s Public Order score dropped until it was only a few turns away from outright rebellion. Redditors and YouTubers folded in a bunch of perennial complaints about bugs and update cadence and communication and how they want one specific kind of beastmen to have beaks, kicking up a stink until Creative Assembly promised to give players better value for money. Now, the studio has started to detail how that will happen with a blog post outlining some of the changes to Shadows of Change in update 4.2. 

“I’ll cut straight to it,” writes game director Richard Aldridge, “we didn’t give you enough new characters and units to play with at the original release of Shadows of Change.” After the update, it’ll have two more Legendary Heroes, two more generic heroes, two more lords, six more units, and a new lore of magic—the Lore of the Hag. There will also be an extra “FreeLC” available to everyone, adding a new mount for Ice Queen Katarin—the Ice Court Sled.
