Developer Creative Assembly has announced a new free DLC that will be making its way to Total War: Warhammer 3 alongside the major update 3.0 slated for release on April 13. The DLC, dubbed Mirror of Madness, will be new game modes available to all Total War: Warhammer 3 players for free.
Mirror of Madness will consist of two new game modes: The Trials of Fate and The Infinite Portal. Creative Assembly has detailed Mirror of Madness as part of an FAQ released on the game’s update page. Mirror of Madness can be added to your library as a free DLC once it is released on April 13.
The Trials of Fate mode is slated to be a series of survival challenges. It puts players in the role of a newly-ascended Daemon Prince of Tzeentch, as they take part in infamous battles from Warhammer’s history to ultimately break into the Realm of Tzeentch and take on Kairos Fateweaver.
Gameplay seems to be a horde mode, with endless waves of enemies that will grow in strength as the player holds out. To deal with the waves, players will have access to unique spells and abilities in The Trials of Fate. These spells and abilities can be upgraded by defending a capture point called the Shard.
The Infinite Portal will allow players to customise their forces in reality-bending ways, such as increase damage dealt by their units and spells, increase collision impact, and raise the total number of soldiers per unit and their health. The Infinite Portal is meant to be a fun game mode where players can go crazy in making as many changes as they might want to how the game works.
The Mirror of Madness is slated to launch alongside the upcoming paid DLC Forge of the Chaos Dwarfs, slated for release on April 13.
