Dawn of War II DLC in "first few weeks" News
PC News by Robert Purchese
Relic Entertainment has pledged "extensive post-launch" support for Dawn of War II through a variety of free and premium downloadable content.
Initial updates could arrive within the "first few weeks", according to a community question-time with producer Mark Noseworthy. That's if everything goes to plan.
His comments come moments before the Dawn of War II beta doors open to the public.
Owners of Dawn of War expansion Soulstorm will be invited in through Steam tomorrow. Everybody else, however, will have to wait until 28th January to download the beta client from Steam or Games for Windows Live.
Dawn of War II launches here on 20th February, and Relic plans to have a patch addressing beta issues already rolled out by then. We're also promised two extra multiplayer maps "within the first week".
Dawn of War II re-focuses the single-player campaign on squad management and does away with tiring base-building - at least until players embark on multiplayer rampages. Tyranids make an appearance, too, and we can't think of any other game that has a faction like them.
Look out for our impressions of the Dawn of War II beta tomorrow.

Beta today? But Tom said earlier "THQ also plans to begin a multiplayer open beta on 28th February following an exclusivity period for owners of Dawn of War expansion Soulstorm, which starts tomorrow. "? Are you saying he's wrong? I am.
I don't think there should ever be paid-for DLC within the first few weeks of release, it's cheeky. If it's free, I can appreciate the publisher gave them a deadline for the game, and they held some maps back to make sure the boxed product was refined enough to release. |

cant think of any other game with creatures like the tyranids in...
oddly enough I can think of the Zerg from Starcraft... edit Yes I know Tyranids came before Zerg... and something was probably around before hand upon which Tyranids were based but my knowledge of Warhammer 40k etc is limited...

"Tyranids make an appearance, too, and we can't think of any other game that has a faction like them."
Tyranids 'got there' before Zerg. That's for the record, just to cut the fan boys off. I was really excited for DoW2, confident it would destroy Starcraft2 but from early previews, it hasn't shaped up to what it was expected to be. But I trust Relic, my pre-order stays. If it's anything similar to CoH, it's gonna be great! |

@Gastrian
Sneetch, did you get the tin or the standard edition? The tin. Or at least that's what I asked for and they assured me I'd get it, they seemed a bit vague and confused about it all though so I wouldn't be surprised if I show up on the day and they try to give me the standard edition. Edit: the price is the same and the pre-order bonus is available on both versions (devastators rock): http://www.game.co.uk/PC/Strategy/RealTi... http://www.game.co.uk/PC/Strategy/RealTi...

Any idea how I'll be able to use my Soulstorm-key to access the beta on the 21st? http://community.dawnofwar2.com/viewtopi... There's a step by step process that oddly involves both Steam and Windows Live accounts. :) |
