Total War: Warhammer 3 unleashes Lords of the End Times DLC with its most powerful necromancer — Nagash is coming in 2026

Developer Creative Assembly kicked off the Total War showcase on Thursday in a big way, revealing that the next DLC coming to Total War: Warhammer 3 is at last unleashing Nagash.

The Lords of the End Times DLC is doing just that, bringing the titular event that tore apart the original Warhammer Fantasy world into the PC strategy series. You can check out the announcement trailer below:

Nagash is described as being a race unto himself, directly controlling a vast undead army that pulls on the existing Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts rosters. There are also some new powerful units, with the Khemric Titans and Morghasts added into the fray.

Nagash is the most powerful necromancer in the world, but he still seeks to delegate power for his plan through the Mortarchs, lieutenants that are giving some his power and authority.

Creative Assembly explains that Nagash will have access to the same potential Mortarchs from the original End Times, including Mannfred von Carstein and Luthor Harkon.

The End Times also brings changes to the map itself, with the world fracturing and changing through volcanic activity and Warpstone corruption. You can see a flyover of some of the changes that can happen in the video below:

Naturally, there are other Legendary Lords coming alongside Nagash, including one that'll be entirely free.

This announcement also coincides with Creative Assembly unlocking the Immortal Empires mode, meaning that anyone who owns Total War: Warhammer or Total War: Warhammer 2 can jump in and play the massive combined map without buying the third game.

We'll have to wait a bit to learn more, but for now, I'm extremely excited. Total War: Warhammer has had massive ups and downs over the years, but Nagash and the End Times are something I've hoped for since before the vision of Immortal Empires was laid out.

Total War: Warhammer 3 Lords of the End Times is slated to arrive at some point in Summer 2026, where it'll be available on Windows PC (via Epic Games Store, Steam, and the Microsoft Store).
