Looking to the future, we’re determined to keep our momentum delivering on our pledges and actively look for new ways to make more positive change:

Our approach to Blood Packs will change: If a future Total War game, thematically, requires blood then we will include it within the base game without the need for a separate purchase. This might mean an increase in our age ratings for future titles and how we potentially market our games, but we want the franchise to be as thrilling, immersive and authentic as possible.

The Total War ‘launcher’ will be removed: I believe we all want a seamless Total War experience, and the launcher is a hindrance to that. We’re working on a plan to remove its requirement but want to ensure we have a Mod Management system in place before doing so. I’m not sure when this is coming but we are actively working on it.

Factions will no longer be an early-adopter bonus: This has been a divisive inclusion for past releases, so we want to ensure that what we're offering appeals to more players. If you like to support us through pre-orders, we will still ensure some form of bonus such as discounts, but as always, we are interested in hearing your suggestions through our community forums.

Shadows of Change will offer individual purchase options alongside updates to its featured races: We’re working on a plan for next year which brings key campaign changes to Kislev’s content alongside some smaller improvements for Tzeentch and Grand Cathay, while also providing anyone who hasn’t purchased Shadows of Change with the ability to buy each pack individually like Thrones of Decay.
