Sunday Comics: Dead Island Relic Entertainment Producer Jeff Lydell told PC Gamer that when the new Dawn of War 2 expansion pack arrives, called Retribution, it will be without support for Games for Windows Live.
It’s pure fantasy. Robots won’t ever actually rise up and go to war with humanity. You know why? Because the robots of the future will be governed by Asimov’s three laws of robotics.
Campaign mode in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II feels more like a role-playing game than a real-time strategy one. But with a little co-op action, it starts to feel more like a trading card game.
Developers Relic – otherwise known as “they who can not put a foot wrong” – have released both the minimum and recommended specs for Dawn of War 2. Worried? Let’s take a look.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War always intimidated me with the number of factions, units, and command points I had to babysit.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 is official, and now the official website is officially websiting! What I’ve done here is collect the official teaser trailer and the three screenshots from said site and placed them in a convenient Kotaku post, so there really is no real reason to click on the link below, unless you don’t appreciate all of the hard work I’ve done replicating the essence of the Dawn of War 2 website for your viewing pleasure. Fine, click the link, you ingrates.

The fact that THQ and Relic Entertainment are working on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is no surprise at this point. We know about its non-linear single player campaign and fully co-op multiplayer campaign, all running on an enhanced version of Relic’s Essence Engine 2.0. The THQ press release would have been completely useless if not for the details on how to qualify for an exclusive multiplayer beta for the game. Turns out that folks who purchase the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War – Soulstorm will gain access to an exclusive, invitation-only multiplayer beta for Dawn of War II, to take place somewhere down the line. Like we needed more incentive to buy Soulstorm. Silly THQ.
Here I was thinking Dawn of War 2 would be officially unveiled next month. I totally overlooked the possibility that Belgian magazine PCGameplay would get the scoop a few weeks early, and be the first to get me all excited over yet another must-have PC RTS. First things first: Relic are bringing some of Company of Heroes’ tricks over to the Warhammer universe, with units now able to occupy buildings and also use the same kind of pathfinding and cover AI as that found in CoH. Other important tidbits: both Marines and Orkz will be getting co-op campaigns (though other races will also feature), it’ll be more squad-based (smaller armies, important squad leaders must be kept alive) and the environments will be almost completely destructable. Excited? Temper this awesomeness with news the game won’t be with us until well into 2009. Dawn Of War 2 Confirmed! The Immortal Emperor Be Praised! [K.Jack @ NeoGAF][Pic]
Kind of a prick-tease, I know, but it’s Warhammer, so I’ll play along. Next month’s issue of PC Gamer looks like it’ll be revealing the first real info on Relic’s Dawn of War sequel, which was first rumoured to be in development a couple of weeks ago. Course, it doesn’t out-and-out say it’s Dawn of War 2, but…yeah. That’s Dawn of War 2. [via Sinatar @ NeoGAF]
