Slaanesh DLC

[Yakov Yurovsky]

Hello! Im wondering if we know if a slaanesh focused DLC is coming and possibly when if we know that.

Im also curious if there is any information on what a Slaaneshi dlc would look like. Im new to the total war series and was drawn in by slaanesh being present

slaanesh dlc is supposed to be 6.0 so another year at least

[Elitewrecker PT]

Late summer would be the expected release if things go smoothly from now on

Slaanesh is no longer confirmed. Content creators are suggesting monkey king next.

Sorry, but that's BS.

The next DLC, if it follows the pattern, is 3 factions. That means 2 of the 3 has been suggested (slaanesh and monkey king), not that the monkey king 'replaced' slaanesh.

Now, cause for concern was the message that they might reduce the scope of the next DLC. Wether that means 2 instead of 3 factions, or less ambitious upgrades, we do not know. But that doesn't alter the answer otherwise.

We have no idea what a slaanesh DLC would look like except that it should be one new legendary lord, some units, a hero and a generic lord type. It seems the trend for the chaos factions is to 'fill in blanks' to a greater extent than adding in entirely new stuff.

Can't know for sure until its announced but these fit the precedent of the previous monogod DLCs:
- Legendary Lord The Masque is the safest bet continuing the Legendary Herald cycle.
- Legendary Hero has some options tagged to WoC - snake-riders or snake-lady.
- Chaos Sorcerer Lord and Exalted Hero fulfill the WoC fill-in-the-blank cycle.

Mutant snakes seem likely since they're one of the few units left for Slaanesh - and a mount option for the less-mutated LH options.
If Monkey King is involved then they could be doing something with Ind and Fire Dragon Li Dao, and possibly even Kuresh. (not enough for a roster, but maybe some guest units for Cathay, Beastmen, and/or Slaanesh)
And since it's Slaanesh, and there's the Slaa-Gor cycle to fill, there's a chance for catgirls of Nippon. (forum meme)
