Sega and Creative Assembly have released the first Character Pack for Total War: Warhammer III. The strategy game previously released DLC packs featuring multiple characters that can also be purchased ala-carte.
The Bhasiva Character Pack (previously introduced as Bhasiva & The Tiger Warriors Character Pack) bucks this trend, as it only features one character albeit offered at a lower base price (RM16 on Steam compared to RM29 for ala carte purchases of previous characters).
The titular Bhasiva is a new Legendary Lord (more or less playable character), part of the Grand Cathay faction. Her title White Tiger is rather a descriptive one, she’s literally a big cat girl who can close in and pounce on enemies from a distance. The Tiger Warriors she leads also fills that role, as shock troops that can overwhelm infantry units.
The Bhasiva Character Pack includes the following new content:
- 1 New Legendary Lord – Bhasiva
- Unique Campaign feature: The Tiger Court
- Unique mechanic: Armies Of Shang-Yang
- New Lord – Tiger Warrior Sawai
- New Spellcaster hero – Clawspeaker
- New Units
- Tiger Warrior
- Tiger Warrior Stalkers
- Iron Claw Tiger Warrriors
In addition, Taoyan The Merciless (Legendary Hero) is also being added to Total War: Warhammer III as free DLC. Taoyan can be recruited by any Legendary Lord from the Grand Cathay, not just Bhasiva, when they reach Rank 12.
Alongside the release of Bhasiva, there’s also a limited-time bundle called Total War: Warhammer III Grand Cathay Collection. This includes the Bhasiva Character Pack and the previously released Yuan Bo for a 75% discount. This bundle is for folks who wish to complete the collection and have all the Grand Cathay Legendary Lords. This bundle isn’t available if you already have Yuan Bo, however.
As of the release of Bhasiva, there are two from the Total War: Warhammer III base game, and two DLC ones (Yuan Bo and Bhasiva).
If you haven’t picked up Total War: Warhammer III yet, now’s a good time to do so. As part of Warhammer Skulls 2026, the game is currently 85% off (down to RM28.35 on Steam), its deepest discount ever. You can also play the base game for free as part of a free weekend until May 26, 1 AM Malaysia Time (+8 GMT).
Total War: Warhammer III is out on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).
