Total War: WARHAMMER III News

Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting some absolutely murderous cats

Creative Assembly have just detailed Total War: Warhammer 3’s first character pack, these being “smaller, focused content drops built around a single character with their own unique feature, supported by a handful of exciting new units”, priced (in this case) at £3.99, $4.99 or €4.99 apiece.

Introducing Bhashiva & the Tiger Warriors

[p]
[/p][p]Hi everyone,

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Total War: WARHAMMER, and we want to begin by thanking you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been with us since the start or joined along the way, your support, feedback, and passion for the series mean a great deal to us.

Right now, the team are hard at work on a variety of content that’s going to inject some exciting new experiences into the game. The big addition being Lords of the End Times, which arrives later this summer armed with four new Legendary Lords including the Great Necromancer himself, Nagash. Alongside this, we’ll also have Update 9.0 which includes the long-awaited Vampire Counts update, and Neferata as the free Legendary Lord. We’re still on track for release this later this summer and look forward to sharing more with you closer to the time.

Before all that, though, we have something special you’ll be able to experience first: our very first Character Pack. To mark the occasion, we’ve worked closely with Games Workshop to introduce an entirely new character to Warhammer lore - Bhashiva, the Desert Tigress, White Tiger of Shang Yang - accompanied by a deadly host of mercenary Tiger Warrior units.

We’ve been discussing bringing her to life for quite some time, so we’re thrilled to finally share her with you. She represents another step into the mysteries of Grand Cathay, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to debut a brand‑new aspect of the setting.

Since Bhashiva and the Tiger Warriors are fresh additions not just to the game but to the entire tabletop setting, today’s blog is primarily about giving you a small first look at who the White Tiger is, how she fights, as well as spotlighting one of the mercenaries who will be supporting her armies. Think of this as your introduction, but with more in‑depth info coming closer to release.
