Whereas the Complete Warfare collection by Artistic Meeting has been beloved by followers for a few years, it is likely that errors have been made in latest occasions, particularly with Warhammer 3 and Pharaoh.
At present, vp Roger Collum posted on behalf of the video games’ management group on the official weblog to acknowledge these errors and apologize to the followers.
We additionally hear about a number of steps that shall be taken to deal with the problems, alongside some coming immediately.

Speaking about Complete Warfare: Warhammer 3, Collum admits that Artistic Meeting failed to fulfill expectations on the sport’s DLC. Because of this, everybody who bought the latest one Shadows of Change will get further content material focusing on a launch on February 2024. After that, mentioned content material will develop into a part of the package deal.
We’ll hear what that content material entails within the new yr from sport director Richard Aldridge.
The subsequent DLC, Thrones of Decay, which was supposed to come back this winter, shall be delayed to April 2024 to verify it has all of the content material it must fulfill the followers and to keep away from repeating the errors made with its predecessor.
