- All Windows versions require Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.[3]
- All owned DLCs from the first game will be available on this game as well.
- To be able to play Mortal Empires mode, you must own Total War: Warhammer as well.[4]
Monetization
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| DLC | The game features extensive paid DLC; if you play only the base game, you will miss a substantial amount of overall content. |
DLC and expansion packs
| Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Repanse de Lyonesse | |
|
| The Shadow & The Blade | |
|
| The Hunter & The Beast | |
|
| Gor-Rok | Free | |
| Tiktaq'to | Free | |
| The Prophet & The Warlock | |
|
| Lokhir Fellheart | Free. | |
| Curse of the Vampire Coast | |
|
| The Queen & The Crone | |
|
| Alith Anar | Free. | |
| Steps of Isha | |
|
| Tretch Craventail | Free. | |
| Rise of the Tomb Kings | |
|
| Mortal Empires | Although this DLC is technically free, you are required to own the previous game in the series, Total War: Warhammer, to be able to play Mortal Empires grand campaign.[4] | |
| Blood for the Blood God II | |
|
| The Warden & The Paunch | |
Microtransactions
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Cosmetic | Blood for the Blood God DLC is cosmetic only, in that it adds gore effects, but if you own the same DLC for Total War: Warhammer, you do not need to rebuy it. |
| Finite spend | Each DLC can be only bought once, putting a cap on total spend. |
| Unlock | You get a set of races in the base game, but the remainder of the races are locked behind real-money transactions. |
