While the first DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3 was leaked recently via a video where fans noticed four new factions added to the campaign victory conditions screen, Creative Assembly has now officially confirmed what this upcoming DLC will feature and the content it will bring. As expected from the leak, four new factions will be making their way to Total War: Warhammer 3 in the newly revealed Champions of Chaos DLC. As can be expected from the title, each of the four new factions will be dedicated to one of the four Chaos gods.

In a new trailer, the first of the faction leaders has been revealed for Total War: Warhammer 3. Azazel will lead the Ecstation Legion in Total War: Warhammer 3 and is a character many will be familiar with from Warhammer lore. A daemon prince of the Chaos god Slaanesh, Azazel betrayed humanity back when the Empire was first being founded, making him one of the setting’s most established characters. It hasn’t been revealed yet which other faction leaders will join the game, but fans expect that notable characters dedicated to Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle are bound to make an appearance too.
As well as bringing new Chaos characters and factions for players to take control of, the Champions of Chaos DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3 will also be bringing some major changes to the game, especially to the Chaos factions. A new campaign will be added, alongside new units to make each Chaos god feel different from the other. Moreover, the Warriors of Chaos faction from Total War: Warhammer, which essentially acts as the mortal version of the Legions of Chaos faction in Total War: Warhammer 3, will be getting an overhaul.
The Champions of Chaos DLC for Total War: Warhammer 3 will hopefully freshen up the gameplay of the Chaos factions, something that players have criticized since the first game launched in 2016. The DLC drops on August 23, the same day that the free Immortal Empires expansion for Total War: Warhammer 3 releases.
Total War: Warhammer 3 is available on Mac, Linux, and Windows PC. Immortal Empires launches August 23.
