Dev Diary: A brief update on short-term development plans

Hello everyone!

We hope you enjoyed last week’s anniversary celebrations! We certainly loved seeing the excitement surrounding both the release and the Immortal Empires launch trailer! This celebration was a long time in the making, and the positivity in the comments and reactions made it an incredible moment for the game and team…all capped off, of course, with the hype of seeing all the new and returning Total War players jumping into and enjoying Immortal Empires for the first time! Thanks for making this an awesome moment!

In case you missed it, we’re hosting numerous game giveaways over on our official Discord server in addition to the ongoing PC giveaway from our friends at Intel! If you haven’t already, join us on the Discord server, check out the event on Twitter, and get involved before everything wraps up in the next week-and-a-half!

Come mid-March, we’ll finally be ready to share more about the next official DLC coming to WARHAMMER III. You may have heard it mentioned by Rich Aldridge in a recent message to the community or even caught a hint of a cameo at the end of the Immortal Empires launch trailer (it was an understandably short appearance, so we understand if you missed it...). We’re not only excited to finally talk about what we’ve been working on after what feels like an eternity, but we’ve been working hard on improvements to previous features in the game—such as the line of sight of ranged units on walls and within settlements—which we hope to have in your hands when Update 3.0 drops this April.

All of that in mind, we know that many of you are eager to hear about the future plans for Total War: WARHAMMER III: what the Summer and Winter updates look like and any/all the stuff coming in between. Throughout March, we’ll be working to finalize and polish up those plans with the aim of sharing them shortly after the April release.

That’s it for now! I hope this provides a brief look into where we’re at and what’s coming in the next few weeks. In the meantime, come join the celebration over on our official channels and we’ll be back with more soon.

—The Creative Assembly Team

    So a simple roadmap has been delayed from December to April now?

    Surprised to see it put off to April as well, but if in the meantime we keep getting regular information drops like this, that's all I've really wanted from CA between content.

    Edit: plus another confirmation that the DLC drops in April

    It’s not a big deal, but it is surprising a post like this couldn’t come a literal month ago considering the one line of new information.

    Either way, excited for real news come March.

    Not much news but I'm glad to know that you will be back with news in mid March, knowing when we can expect the next news is all I need.

    It’s going to be the most polished roadmap we’ve ever seen. Almost blinding from how much polish they’ve applied.

    I guess at this point the Chaos Dwarfs are so close they want us talking about that rather than what's coming later. They'll market and hype the CDs, release it, then drop future content hints.

    This reminds me of how they dragged out the full Kislev roster reveal… with postponing the Roadmap, the communities expectations will rise to unreasonable levels that can never be satisfied.

    Just let the cat out of the bag CA.

    With how much they've delayed the roadmap I'm afraid it will inevitably disappoint the community and cause some drama that could've been avoided in the first place. It's kinda crazy they promised two different dates for the roadmap only to delay it again and again. Seriously it's a roadmap, how hard can it be.

    This is exactly what will happen. The roadmap will be „ok“ and people will just wonder why that thing couldn’t be released in December or February.

    Delaying things again and again just sets the bar higher and higher which is something that can be so easily avoided by CA.

    Pretty much yes. Mistakes like this are just… unnecessary and feel… clumsy.

    The negative backlash at this point is inevitable and I just feel sorry for the CMs who have to deal with our anger, even if it isn’t their fault.

    That’s why the Roadmap should’ve arrived 2-3 weeks ago.

    Well I guess there are multiple roadmaps and they don't know where to go, hence they must be waiting for the dlc sales number to decide.

    If they posted, hi all, nothing to update for now. See you in a months time, would people be falling over themselves to congratulate CA for communicating

    Posting some mildly positive appreciation comments doesn’t hurt tho even if the delay of the Roadmap is absolutely baffling.

    They are working hard to put the last pieces of the roadmap together.
    Because of brexit and corona and a strong fundament for warhammer 3...
