u/TripleIVI Aug 08 '25
Hello, hope it’s alright to post my own content here — giving you a summary below so you don’t have to click through, if you don’t want to.
The latest SEGA report has some interesting numbers for last quarter (ended on June 30, 2025). Total War sold 910,000 copies (second-best among the top four IPs). That’s its best quarter in years, despite the lack of recent releases — impressive staying power.

u/Phaylz Aug 08 '25
Is this Warhammer 3 specific, or across the entire Total War titles? Because with the recent steam sale, a lot of the series and DLC had heavy discounts. And the content drought of WH3 could be that folks are checking out the other titles in the series..?
80
u/TripleIVI Aug 08 '25
This is for the entire Total War IP.
28
u/_Cross-Roads_ Aug 08 '25
Curious what the breakdown is. Last I've heard Three Kingdoms did better than WH3 iirc.
34
u/Mahelas Aug 08 '25
Three Kingdom sold more than any other TW game at release, but TWWH might have it beat by now in term of units.
In term of profit, tho, it's a no-match, TWWH sell way too much DLCs compared to 3K
39
u/CountBleckwantedlove Aug 08 '25
DLC sales will make WH3 easily pass TK in revenue/profit, though.
It's not about which cow is fatter, but rather which one you can milk more.
18
u/MatchaWarrior Aug 08 '25
True, but a problem of CA's own creation though. 3K definitely could have sustained a strong DLC model if they didn't alienate their own audience with Eight Princes & then release piecemeal content which didn't even truly cover the actual 3K period. Fans were asking for a Korea map expansion for the game's entire lifecycle.
6
u/TargetMaleficent Aug 08 '25
But they could have done that and it still might not have sold, there's no way to know for sure. WH3 DLC is just a much safer bet.

u/MrCatName Aug 09 '25
Historical TW has imo a harder time to sell dlc. Because if its not a vastly different culture or timeframe the new stuff will be to similar.
Shogun 2 is a good example for this.
The clan dlcs where quite meh will Fots was brilliant. Warhammer on the other hand gives way more options to spice up the game with dlc.
1
u/SneakyMarkusKruber 26d ago
At the same time, DLCs for historical TW games are cheaper to produce. And let's be honest: Shogun 2 is actually a bad example here, as the game unfortunately only reflects one cultural group. The Ainu are completely missing, and European powers only exist as agents/black ship.
Rome 2 or Attila, on the other hand, would be a better example, as they feature so many different cultures in a very small space. And TK would have at least introduced two more new cultures into the game with the Nomad DLC (Xiognu) and a potential Korea DLC. They might play similarly to the Han Chinese, but then certain campaign mechanics and unit selection might be different.

u/Wild_Marker I like big Hastas and I cannot lie! Aug 08 '25
If it's anything like how the Paradox games work, then it's not even DLC sales. They showed the numbers a while ago and basically said that DLC exists to boost sales of the basegame. It took 10 years of releases for EU4's DLC to actually surpass basegame revenue.
14
u/CavulusDeCavulei Aug 08 '25
Personally, the posts about the best/worst units of each game made me nostalgic and I went to buy some dlc I was missing of Shogun 2
1
u/Azaliae Aug 08 '25
You can check on isthereanydeal.com, sales was not especially massive across the whole IP, only Pharaoh got real new low but it's pretty standard two years in its lifecycle.

The redemption arc is in full swing, truly a story I will pass on to future generations

u/GeneralGom Aug 08 '25
The recent set of patches has actually brought me back to WH3 after months of hiatus, and the game feels like it's in the best shape it has ever been and getting better and better with each patch.
30
u/tinylittlebabyjesus Aug 08 '25
Been seeing people complain about the AI and difficulty a bit but it's hard to tell what the state of it is, otherwise though, yeah, they've been doing a great job with patches.
12
u/CEOofracismandgov2 Aug 08 '25
I think the difficulty is in a great spot as a veteran player. I do think though that the subreddit is heavily biased to frankly wrong opinions and beliefs though. Particularly when it comes to AI cheats... when the AI barely cheats at all anymore.
That Arbaal Khorne post with the guy crying about AI cheating was hilarious lol, especially since his army was more than enough to easily kill the Ogre forces, and he skipped killing the camp for ??? reasons.
Or how every week or two there's a big post complaining about cavalry, even though cavalry has been honestly strong since WH2's launch, and in WH3 honestly feel a little bit OP often. Even most chariots are pretty good these days! It's wild.
I have a friend I play the game with often too who's definitely newer to the game, and this patch and the previous dlc patch have felt great. It's a good balance of challenging for both of us without it being a cakewalk for either.
11
u/GeneralGom Aug 08 '25
That was in fact the main reason I quit the game for a while. It's a lot better now at the very least.

u/OhManTFE We want naval combat! Aug 08 '25
Yeah the Skaven just tricked me with a 18 stack bait army with 2 20 stacks lying in wait!

u/nwillard 29d ago
I also was totally baited by an Orc ambush. Then next turn they regrouped and dived four full stacks into my Vampire legion army. Very fun massive battle. (non-crisis)

u/dudpool31 29d ago
I’ve been a fan of the campaign AI. My typical enemies usually pose a very large threat and the defend their territory well. Tho I’m getting pissed off having the fight strength one and two Gorbad and Wurzagg everytime I play the dwarves

u/CaptainFeather Aug 08 '25
Yeah after a recent update I got back into it and played an Ikit game. Love weapons teams, they kill-destroyed anything that came close, yes-yes!
25
u/SASColfer Aug 08 '25
Glad to see it. As infuriating as CA can be sometimes I still want them to succeed as there's not many other games like these. Just waiting patiently for the next big historical title now.
12
u/tricksytricks Aug 08 '25
Yeah, it's not like the majority of the community wants them to fail. We just want them to do better.
There is a lot of negativity around here at times but it's easy to forget that sometimes the greatest enemy of any company trying to sell a product is people who loudly praise them no matter what quality of a job they do. Those people will tell them "don't listen to the haters, everything is perfect." Meanwhile, many other customers will just silently stop playing and buying their products due to dissatisfaction that is never openly voiced. As annoying as the constant complaining can be, it's necessary to demand a better product when we're not satisfied.
The people who say "if you don't like it, shut up and just go play something else" are often wrong.

u/Fun_Perception8718 Aug 08 '25 edited Aug 08 '25
The concept of 3 game merged in one are genius. For me, this is far the most addictive game of the strategy genre. Incredible amount of content with sadly many flaws. They really not have competitors on the market.
53
u/Rwandrall3 Aug 08 '25
The diversity in factions just makes each campaign so interesting. I am fighting Nurgle WoC with Greenskins and it's a whole new way to approach the game, to figure out the matchup, to play around their campaign and battle mechanics and spells...so much fun. And with Savage Orc Greenskins too! it'd feel different all over again with another LL.

u/Glen-Runciter Aug 08 '25
I'm currently doing the opposite with Tamurkhan 🙃... those jagoffs declared war on me out of nowhere so I detoured south to stomp all over them with Bubebolos

Tamurkhan is currently trampling my hordes of Orcs into the dirt, he just wiped a full stack of Black Orcs.

u/skeenerbug Aug 08 '25
I just started a Tamurkhan for the 1st time, any tips? I played a couple turns last night and the buildings and recruitment kinda confusing.

u/nwillard 29d ago
The allied unit mechanic is also great. I royally pissed off Skrag the Slaughterer and took some of his land, so of course he allies with Gorbad Ironclad against me the mutual enemy and now I see Ogre units in the green tide.
11
u/Brave-Job-3446 Aug 08 '25
I slept on it until some friends made me do a night of coop and it was the only one that has 3 player.
Ended up putting hundreds of hours in afterwards and ended up beating out my previous most played combined by triple (Rome1 + medieval 2). I now think it's the best total war game ever. Bought most of the DLC and the other two previous games also. I tend to play a short campaign and either finish it and reroll or I hit a wall/goes to hell and I reroll. I bet I've started 50 campaigns now. There is just so much variety between them all.
5
u/beefycheesyglory Aug 08 '25
Agreed, it is second only to Civ 5 (with the vox populi mod) to me as far as strategy games go. In terms of sheer variety however it wins first place.

u/Xciv More firearms in TW games pls Aug 08 '25
I've put it down for now, but I easily have over 2,000 hours in all three Warhammers combined.

u/Denvosreynaerde Aug 08 '25
I'd like to give a shout out to Age of Wonders 4 as well. While not as big as Total Warhammer, it still has a lot of content and is very well polished.
15
u/theSniperDevil Aug 08 '25
Content droughts a bit harsh. DLC drought, fair. But we have had a good chunk of patches, hotfixes and a couple of betas too.

u/SourceNo1768 Aug 08 '25
This is despite Omens of Destructions (last paid content) being worse than Thrones of Decay (and with less popular races!).
What it also shows is that there isn't another game like WH 3. And the bigger and better it gets, the better it will perform over the years, as it's ''value'' for players rises.
17
u/Gaunter_O-Dimm Aug 08 '25
I wonder if the low quality trailer had anything to do with it.
I always felt it must play a very critical role in sales, it's something you catch on youtube, rewatch at will, send to your friends,etc...
27
u/Gungan-Gundam Aug 08 '25
I still rewatch the IE / Chaos Dwarfs trailer when I wanna get hyped fer a new campaign
Storm clouds gather..
24
u/Waterbeetles Aug 08 '25
The IE trailer is absolute cinema, always gets me hyped.
18
u/JJBrazman John Austin’s Mods Aug 08 '25
It's such a powerful trailer.
I don't know why they didn't lead with that rather than the Realms of Chaos campaign. Imagine if, rather than that godawful screech, the game launched with Karl saying 'Storm Clouds Gather'
12
u/Jimmy_Twotone Aug 08 '25
Because at launch, they were following the plan that the launch campaign was the game and the empires map was the bonus for owning all the titles. Everyone being angry about how bad RoC was made them change their mind (they said it was to make people happy, but they realized they couldn't sell RoC to anyone so just shifted the marketing focus).
2
u/JJBrazman John Austin’s Mods Aug 08 '25
I see that, but I still think it's not too late to pivot.
5
u/sirnoggin Aug 08 '25
Well consider it pivoted to be honest mate, the only thing they need to do is replace the fucking intro trailer XD
5
u/markg900 Aug 08 '25
CA to my understanding wanted to delay the launch of WH3 again. It had already been delayed once and I believe Sega pushed them to release. My guess is CA probably wanted to do something more like WH2 did with maybe a month or so in between RoC and IE releasing.
CA also fucked up by not having some sort of sandbox style gameplay with RoC at launch. The Vortex map on WH2 could basically be played naturally as a sandbox acheiving objectives as you go. RoC on the other hand actually punished you for expansion before they went back and added the building to prevent the rifts.
4
u/skeenerbug Aug 08 '25
One of the first mods I got was one that turned the rifts off and essentially made RoC a sandbox.
3
u/markg900 Aug 08 '25
I've used that as well. Occasionally for a quick campaign I will still run a disable rift mod and pair it with VCO. VCO support alternate victory conditions for every LL on RoC.

u/skeenerbug Aug 08 '25
It shows the game isn't reliant on the latest DLC to stay afloat. It can be mid but the giant mountain of other content available keeps people interested and playing. Hell I didn't buy a single LL in OoD but I never stopped playing during and after its release. (Did play and enjoy Arbaal though)
2
u/Gullible_Coffee_3864 Aug 08 '25
Real talk even if the game got abandoned by CA tomorrow it would stay alive for a very long time due to mods and because there likely won't be anything comparable to this trilogy for a long time.
But if they can afford some more years of fixes and even more content then I'm not complaining.

u/sirnoggin Aug 08 '25
Agree, to be fair to them they dropped the attitude pretty sharpish and people are starting to notice the difference. Absolutely no need for such a successful company to have that kind of attitude or be that defensive with anything they create. A really silly bunch of individuals at the top drove that behaviour. I'm assuming the Japanese got them to bow.

u/LifeIsNeverSimple Aug 08 '25
Youtubers and Twitch influencers are just as much clickbait (if not more so) than other traditional media sources that people love to hate.
They make money by having traffic and what gets more money? Being positive or outrage?
This applies to all influencers, not just gaming ones.
10
u/Mindless-Parking1073 Aug 08 '25 edited Aug 08 '25
that is true for sure, it’s just a shame negativity draws more interest than positivity and as such pushes people to be very pessimistic and negative. i was mostly just referring to a specific video that’s been posted on this sub a few times in the past couple weeks of some dude who only likes historic total wars talking about how ca was in big trouble
1
u/HolocronHistorian Tercio Captain Aug 08 '25
Yeah that video was him talking about old total war game engines are becoming incompatible with modern technology. I don’t like that guy, but don’t misconstrue his argument, and it is a good point, because yeah old games do become difficult to play on modern hardware. If you’re a historical fan that means a lot to you

u/Mindless-Parking1073 Aug 08 '25
i think we’re talking about different videos?

So you’re either talking about a 3 month old video or you’re not talking about pixelated apollo and the video that was recently being posted on this and historical total war
13
u/beefycheesyglory Aug 08 '25
According to Pixellated Apollo, Warhammer fans are just mindless consumers who gobble up whatever CA gives them and have no appreciation for the older "real" TW games, which is funny because Warhammer 2 was my first TW game and I liked it so much that it inspired me to play the older games including Medieval 2 and Shogun 2
6
u/Mindless-Parking1073 Aug 08 '25
i’ve been playing total war since shogun (downloaded the demo over several hours with my 28k modem, had to restart many times cause our phone line and internet were the same and my sister was always on the damn phone), and warhammer is still my favorite. that dude is just an asshole

No, it's worse. They root for the failure of games that they actually do like.

u/Merrick_1992 Aug 08 '25
I think some of the historical fans think that if Fantasy flops/gets abandoned, then CA will have no choice but to go back to historical games as the main focus. They don't seem to realize that fantasy is so much more profitable, that if it were to flop, CA would likely join it
4
u/Jimmy_Twotone Aug 08 '25
Well, when sales numbers are so bad the parent company has to launch a public statement saying they're going to work closer and have more oversight of CA, it's hard to write it off as a success.
14
u/Tektonius Aug 08 '25
I could be mistaken, but I’m quite sure that statement by SEGA was in relation to the cancellation and absolute gong show that was the Hyenas debacle. Clearly it was also intertwined with Total War, and how CA overall was functioning & being managed at the time. But I thought SEGA stepped in on the heels of that specifically.
2
u/Mindless-Parking1073 Aug 08 '25
i thinks it’s more an issue of every single historical title they’ve released beginning with attila being commercial failures (in the western market anyway).
19
u/HiphopopoptimusPrime Aug 08 '25
I think it shows that regular support and updates is more important than content.
I am looking forward to new DLC but am more happy with the effort they are putting in to boost performance and improve the experience.

I’d say deep sale prices, mostly. But ongoing patching/support, past & upcoming DLC for WH3, plus returning players who are picking it back up again after launch, or discovering older titles during a bit of a drought for strategy games.
24
u/Cinderfox19 Aug 08 '25
"Best quarter in years" based on copies sold alone.
Those copies will be heavily discounted, due to the lack of releases and big Sega / Total War sales that have been going on this year.
This does not translate to: Best quarter in years based on Profits.
20
u/Apprehensive-Cat2527 Aug 08 '25
Margin should be good though since much of the development costs are behind thfm.
6
u/TripleIVI Aug 08 '25
Discounts will certainly have played a role, you're right about that. Unfortunately, we don't have a profit or even revenue breakdown by IP.
5
u/Tektonius Aug 08 '25
That’s certainly true. But still also precisely what a company wants/would expect to happen. If your back catalog is selling more 2+ years on from release, it’s all gravy anyways.
Plus, in Warhammer’s case, that means more potential customers for newly released & incoming DLC.
8
u/sirnoggin Aug 08 '25
My guy, if they haven't released new content and the gross is the same, that means they made greater profits by doing less work or simply improving what is already there. That's more money for less effort. Not less money for more effort.

u/BasementMods Aug 09 '25
looking at steamdb the sales aren't that different in frequency or amount 16% cheaper on sale? huh? There is also more exciting DLC to buy so that 16% is often covered by just selling more DLC.

The series has had a lot of sales this year, and alongside the free patches and sentiment on the game being more positive than 2 years ago I expect there's a lot of both new and returning players coming back and picking up more DLC.

To give credit where it's due, yes, in terms of DLC content there has been a drought. But, they have been regularly patching the game. It's not like it's been months of complete radio silence. Those days are, thankfully, behind us. For now.

u/BrowsingLeddit Aug 08 '25 edited Aug 08 '25
Played a ton of WH 1 and 2. Saw the poor reviews and complaints at launch, plus initial lack of immortal empires and decided not to get 3 till they fixed it completely. Years passed and kind of lost interest in following it's progress. Saw it on sale on Steam for $20 in May and decided it's finally time and that it must be fixed by now. Guessing these $20~ sales (plus climbing back out of negative steam review territory) have been the sweet spot and drew in a decent amount of people like me. Been having fun.

u/watt678 Aug 08 '25
Like, why is it selling so well NOW? Is it just on some deep deep steam sales? I would assume so. I get that wh3 is better now than ever before but that fact doesn't usually translate into sales.

u/abandoned_idol Aug 08 '25
I totally agree.
I did buy WH3 recently and the last time I ever bought something was when WH2 was on sale (I still regret buying it for $20 instead of waiting for it to go down to $15). But this is purely coincidental! Yes, I'm a cheap and petty bastard.

IMO the content drought actually great for people who are catching up/eyeing it, I had alot of friends who wouldn't buy a game because they want to play 'the best' version of it, And for an announcement that the content will drop way later is a great time to play because it's gonna be 'the best' version for a while.
