A new race, Bretonnia, will be added to the campaign in Total War: Warhammer in a free update next week. The faction will be fully playable in the Grand Campaign.
The Bretonnia Race DLC introduces three playable Legendary Lords and new units with “unique features” promising an ambitious “hundreds of hours” of additional gameplay.
Available to download from February 28, the lords and peasants of Bretonnia represent the biggest free addition to Total War: Warhammer yet. The update will launch alongside a new retail version, Total War: Warhammer – Old World Edition, which includes all current content.

“In the mists of times past, the regions between the Great Ocean and The Grey Mountains were secured by Gilles le Breton, and Bretonnia was founded. Now ruled by the mighty warrior-king Louen Leoncoeur, Bretonnia is administered across a number of dukedoms. Bretonnian society revolves around a deeply ingrained code of chivalry, and her people offer fealty to their Goddess, The Lady of The Lake. It is said that a Knight who distinguishes himself through honourable deeds may earn her blessing,” says the back of the box (also known as the Steam page).
“A Bretonnia campaign offers a uniquely different experience to the other playable races of Total War: WARHAMMER. Much of your success is built around how chivalrous your actions are – it’s a factor which can have a major effect on your kingdom, both internally and externally.
“Your level of chivalry is tracked via a meter at the top of the campaign interface. As you perform certain actions, such as winning heroic victories in battle and completing quest chains, your chivalry rises, bringing with it benefits such as higher control (keeping your peasant population content and pliant), bonus unit experience and a reduction in corruption. Other actions, such as warring with other Bretonnian factions and sacking settlements, can reduce your chivalry. Low chivalry levels bring negative factors to your campaign, such as reduced Control and army Leadership. In extremis, this can contribute to rebellions across your provinces.”
