Patch 2.4 brings Immortal Empires to all Total War: WARHAMMER III players on macOS & Linux

Denizens of the Old World, brace yourselves — patch 2.4 opens up the gargantuan Immortal Empires campaign to owners of Total War: WARHAMMER III!

You can now also purchase DLC for WARHAMMER I and II without owning the base games, unlocking the factions and their Legendary Lords for the Immortal Empires campaign!

Head to the Total War Blog for the full patch notes and all the details. Then, fire up Steam, update your game, and let this mark the first day of your reign over the Old World!
