Only a couple of weeks after release GW is walking back the Warhammer+ content release schedule, and it’s all very confusing still.
We just want to start by saying, this is not to bash anything, the app is only $6 a month and honestly has a lot on it. Especially if you already pay for the 40k app, this is probably a good value for you already.
This is more just about giving you a heads up that GW looks to be walking the content release schedule back now that they have the app actually running. As we always say, vote with your hobby dollars. So if this has value to you, then get it. If it doesn’t then don’t.
Anyways, after a big promise out of the gate for a continued content every week, lore, and the AoS app, now they seem to be slowly toning down that promise.
It’s not anything crazy but after not having all the features ready on day one, more small changes and broken promises may make a big difference to subscribers already on the fence.
GW Walking Back Warhammer+ Content Release Schedule
Let’s start with the most important part, new content.
This is the big change right here from the Warhammer+ FAQ. They originally said content would be added every week, now it says it will be most Wednesdays. We might be looking into this too much but it gives them some leeway when it actually comes to adding content.
Every Wednesday will see new content added. The Loremaster series will also be joining the service from Wednesday the 1st of September, followed by Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The App later that month.
The above is from them, and already they have walked that back, and Loremaster is rolling out this week on September 8th a week later than promised…
In a recent post, the text looks to have been changed to be “practically every Wednesday”, then a paragraph later they put “every Wednesday”, so again, not a huge change, but it does most likely mean there will be weeks in the coming future where there will be no new content for a week.
Plus it also seems like they went back and edited the post, without realizing there was another instance of that same “every Wednesday” verbiage still there. Either way, don’t be surprised in the coming weeks if we see a couple of gap weeks.
Loremaster & When is the AoS App coming?
They originally said Loremaster would be in here the first of September and obviously, that’s a week late already with no notice of the change other than to say, it’s coming out this week.
So while this isn’t a huge issue, it just seems like GW promised so much at launch, and now are realizing it might be harder than they thought.
While the AoS app has been promised sometime in September, of which there is still plenty of time left, but with this recent walk-back of the release schedule, we’re a little skeptical.
So if you’re holding your breath this month on getting Warhammer+, the app does have value, it might just be a little slower on updates than we all were hoping…
