Released in February (the 19th for the US and the 20th for the UK) Dawn of War 2 promises to take us further into the 40K Universe than before, built on an advanced Essence 2.0 engine and pitched in a different manner to the previous game.īefore version 1.0 (and the Day Zero 1.1 patch) rolls out however, Relic and THQ have started a multiplayer beta open to anyone who owns the previous Dawn of War (Soulstorm).

The Warhammer 40K Universe is a perfect setting for a real time strategy game and now it's the turn of Dawn of War 2 to roll onto our PC's. Then came Company of Heroes and built upon Dawn of War's play mechanic, refined it and challenged the genre once again.

Dawn of War redefined RTS games as much as Total Annihilation did.
