January 7, 2021 The Asrai Resurgent update is now live in Total War: Warhammer 2’s main branch.

Total War: Warhammer 2‘s Asrai Resurgent update is now live in the main game branch, following several weeks in beta over the holidays. The major update to the fantasy strategy game makes some key changes to content introduced in Twisted & The Twilight DLC, following player frustration with some of its mechanics.

Specifically, version 1.10.1 makes some initial changes to how the Forge of Daith works in the Sisters of Twilight campaign. In line with some of Creative Assembly’s promised changes, the ‘Asrai Resurgent’ update makes two key alterations to the Forge of Daith. First, items will revert back to their previous upgrade level when a Reforging expires, instead of dropping down to its base level. Second, the ‘Naestra leaves’ option now reduces the timer until the next new item is offered, by two turns.

Creative Assembly has also done a pass on the whole pool of items available from the Forge, and the upshot here is that the Reforged items are getting “significantly” buffed, enough to make them “viable choices in comparison to permanent upgrades.”
