Total War: WARHAMMER III News

Total War: Warhammer 3 is Steam top seller in China

The Total War: Warhammer 3 trailer dialed many players' excitement up after it was revealed this week, and not least in China. Since going up for pre-order, the strategy game has been the top seller on Steam in the country for several days.

As spotted on ResetEra, Total War: Warhammer 3 is sitting atop the Steam chart for Chinese players at the minute, outdoing its performance elsewhere. Although it went straight to number one all around the world, it's since dropped to third in English-speaking regions, whereas in China, it continues to stand tall. The sequel is outdoing not just global hits like Valheim or Nioh 2, but Chinese developed games too, such as Tale of Immortal, now in second place, and Dyson Sphere Program, now in fifth.

The voracious demand likely stems from the appearance of Cathay, a Warhammer equivalent to China that takes some obvious nods from the history and mythology of the region, in the latest trailer. This will be Cathay's most prominent appearance as a faction ever, in the entirety of Warhammer, making Total War: Warhammer 3 exciting for anyone knee deep in the lore, and especially for Chinese fans eager to play as their homeland.

Total War: Warhammer 3 revealed, and Cathay confirmed, in extremely metal trailer

Yes, it was Total War: Warhammer III. Last night we reported on how Creative Assembly had been teasing something with a series of animated shorts. It seemed a bit much to just be about a new DLC, and further digging by the community pointed to clues that suggested something bigger was coming. Luckily, we didn't have to wait long to find out what.

We've known this has been in the works for a while, but Creative Assembly has now formally announced the third entry for their popular strategy game series set within the iconic Warhammer Fantasy universe.

Confirmed races for the new game so far include fan-favourites Kislev, the four factions of Chaos (Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle) and in a surprising move, Cathay. We're confident there's more to come, but Cathay is certainly an interesting choice. Essentially Warhammer Fantasy's version of China, they've barely had any attention paid to them in the old tabletop line, which means the opportunity is ripe for CA to fill in the blanks. If only the studio had experience making strategy games based in China...

Everything in the Total War: Warhammer 3 trailer, from Kislev to Cathay

At long last, the better part of five years after the first Total War: Warhammer released, the trailer for the third and last in the trilogy has finally dropped. And it is metal af, as they say.

It's also packed with details, and tells us an awful lot about the direction developer Creative Assembly is taking with this third game after years of speculation. Are they going to do Cathay? How will they handle the multi-factional Daemons of Chaos? Any sign of the Ogre Kingdoms?

Sadly the answer to that third point is a "no" for now - though check out our guide to the Total War: Warhammer 3 races for the latest developments - and there's also no sign of a Total War: Warhammer 3 release date more specific than some time this year. But we've still learned a lot, and to ensure you don't miss a thing, please enjoy this thorough breakdown of the new trailer. I can't be sure of having spotted everything, but there's a lot here about the game's setting, factions, units, and more.
