Creative Assembly has rolled out Patch 6.3 for Total War Warhammer 3, delivering a major set of improvements and balance changes. The update resolves the instability issues that affected AMD hardware, introduces over 220 trait rebalances, and implements feedback gathered from the recent beta test. Players can also look forward to 20 new unusual locations, a new camera blood splatter effect, and several bug fixes across different areas of the game.
This patch particularly focuses on the Tomb Kings and Lizardmen factions, bringing reworked buildings, technology trees, skills, and new mechanics such as Spawning Sequences for the Lizardmen and Nehekharan Decrees for the Tomb Kings. On top of these gameplay updates, new audio content has been added, including expanded voice-overs for Wulfrik, Throgg, and Bretonnian lords, alongside returning music tracks for the Warriors of Chaos.
