Total War: Warhammer 3’s upcoming Thrones of Decay expansion gets huge pricing change

Creative Assembly's latest strategy game, Total War: Warhammer 3, has announced an innovative approach for its next expansion, Thrones of Decay. Players can now choose to buy three distinct faction packs individually or together in a discounted bundle, providing more flexibility in how they choose to expand their gaming experience. Each faction pack, focusing on Nurgle, the Empire, or the Dwarfs, is priced at £7.49, while the entire bundle is set at a reasonable £19.10. Additionally, those opting for a single faction pack initially will benefit from a 15% discount on the remaining packsif they decide to expand their collection later on.
This customer-friendly strategy is part of Creative Assembly’s broader effort to rebuild its rapport with the gaming community following a period of dissatisfaction related to the Shadows of Change DLC and subsequent public relations challenges. Notably, the company had faced setbacks with the cancellation of Sega's most expensive project, Hyenas, even before its launch. Acknowledging past grievances, Creative Assembly is making amends, such as adjusting the pricing for Total War: Pharaoh to a more favorable point and compensating players who purchased at the higher price initially.
The announcement also notes Sega's recent staffing reductions, emphasizing the company's dedication to its fan base and ongoing game series despite these challenges.
Turning to a personal tone, there's a buzzing excitement for Thrones of Decay, especially with the buzz surrounding Tamurkhan as a potential lead for the Nurgle faction. Known from Warhammer Fantasy's iconic The Throne of Chaos supplement, Tamurkhan's unique character—a chaos maggot within an ogre chieftain atop a toad dragon—has fans eager. Valid predictions also hint at fresh additions to the Empire and Dwarfs factions, amplifying the anticipation.
Scheduled for release within the month, Thrones of Decay's exact launch date remains fluid due to studio challenges. This expansion brings substantial excitement and anticipation from the Total War community. Meanwhile, fans looking for something different yet still within the strategy genre might find Manor Lords appealing, a game blending city building and tactical battles, launching shortly on Steam and PC Game Pass.
