Do I need all 3 Total War: Warhammer games?
To play the Immortal Empires campaign, which includes all the WH I and WH II factions, you only need to have Warhammer III installed, as it is now available to all WARHAMMER III owners, regardless of whether they own the other titles. The Warhammer series has undergone significant changes, and owning all three games is no longer a requirement to access the Immortal Empires campaign, making it more accessible to new players.
