Dawn of War sequel officially announced News
PC News by Robert Purchese
THQ has officially lifted the lid on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II.
The sequel will be PC-only, and returning developer Relic is aiming for a spring 2009 release. Those of you buying Dawn of War expansion Soulstorm will be invited able to take part in an upcoming multiplayer beta test.
Dawn of War II has few surprises on its feature hitlist, other than a fully co-operative multiplayer campaign for you and your friends - just like Red Alert 3, which claims it pioneered the idea.
Other than that, there are zeitgeist promises of destructible environments and spectacular visuals. Also, Orkz and Space Marines.
The sequel has been rumoured for some time, with sources claiming it has been in development since late 2006 and will support all the fancy DirectX 10 and multiple-core CPU technology that people talk about on lunchbreaks these days.
The website promises more information as soon as tomorrow.
Dawn of War is a critically acclaimed real-time strategy series, for those of you still in the dark about it.

Hmmmm... I wonder if it'll have a lot of the wealth of races that the (somewhat dodgy) expansion packs added to DoW or will we have to buy them again (although I could do without a lot of them tbh). Also will it have a decent campaign or will it simply be an extended tutorial before going online.

Mmm ... I wasn't going to buy soulstorm, but now it looks far more inviting.
