Total War: Warhammer 3 - June 2025 Update: A Comprehensive Overhaul and New Content
Total War: Warhammer 3 has just released a significant update for June 2025, bringing a wide range of new content and substantial improvements to the game. The most notable change is the complete overhaul of the Magic Item system, which has seen over 600 ancillaries (common, uncommon, and rare items) adjusted to clarify power differences between item rarities, add new effects like healing limits and shields, and reduce inventory clutter.
The update introduces several new Unique Items, including the Wyrmslayer Sword, Scintillating Shield, Accursed Armour, Briarsheath, the upgraded Fellblade, and the very rare Eight Burning Books of Khorne. Additionally, two new units have been added: Hobgoblin Bolt Throwers for the Chaos Dwarfs and a new Blood Knights version with strong anti-infantry skills. Several existing units have had their names fixed and balance changes made to ensure consistency across factions and unit roles.
The patch also includes big Campaign AI improvements, giving players two new options. The AI Strength & Threat Assessment setting (turned on by default) makes the AI smarter at judging threats and enemies, while the Minor Faction Potential option (turned off by default) lets smaller factions make better choices and have a bigger impact on the campaign. Over 1200 2D unit portraits have been redone to make the game’s visuals more consistent and better overall.
Other improvements in Patch 6.2 include a new compression system that reduces game storage size by 27% and speeds up loading times by 5% to 42% depending on the battle. Many gameplay changes have been made to units, skills, technologies, buildings, and UI elements to fix bugs and improve balance. Several campaign crashes and battle problems have been fixed, making Total War: Warhammer 3 more stable overall.
In summary, Patch 6.2 brings a significant overhaul to the Magic Item system, new Unique Items and units, Campaign AI improvements, visual updates, and numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to make Total War: Warhammer 3 an even more engaging and stable experience for players.
