Kislev Endures — Total War: WARHAMMER III Update 6.1 Out Now on macOS and Linux

We hope you packed your warm gauntlets. Total War: WARHAMMER III’s latest update returns to the frozen lands of Kislev to offer a fresh take on the Ice Queen’s dominion.

From sweeping updates to the faction’s technology tree to a complete overhaul of the Supporter race between the Ice Court and the Grand Orthodoxy — this is a Tzardom transformed. Also included is an update to the Devotion system which replaces the local Control mechanic, and a radical new take on the Ataman system for Kislev.

And the Changer of Ways is on the receiving end of some changes of his own, with Tzeentch’s Fragments of Sorcery system receiving a visual and mechanical overhaul.

Also included are two brand new units: The Nan-Gau Grenadiers for Cathay and Gnoblar Flingers for the Ogre Kingdoms, rounding out a bold update to many of the base game’s original factions.

Head to the Total War Dev Blog to get the inside scoop on Kislev and Tzeench 2.0, or to the Full Changelist to see everything that’s included in Update 6.1. Then, update via Steam to see the latest version in action!

Wololo! Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Converts to macOS on May 28th!

One of the most beloved strategy games ever comes to macOS this May, with the arrival of Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

Lead diverse civilisations spanning a thousand years of history. Grow a Dark Age hamlet into an Imperial Age citadel. Build a thriving economy, assemble your armies, and do battle across historical single-player campaigns, the hugely replayable skirmish mode, and with other macOS players in online multiplayer.

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition comes complete with razor-sharp 4K visuals, a fully remastered soundtrack, and includes three expansions with the base game: Lords of the West, Dynasties of India, and Dawn of the Dukes. Newcomers to the series and returning veterans alike can look forward to all the fast-paced base-building and warfare that make this game a classic, consistently improved over two decades of refinement and additional content.

Empire builders hungry for more will also have access to a large — and still-expanding — stable of DLC purchasable from day one. Players can explore wide-ranging content, from Return of Rome, which transplants the original Age of Empires experience into the modern engine, to The Last Chieftains — exploring the complex medieval societies of South America — which just recently released!
