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.
