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.
