THQ has announced today that the must anticipated RTS, Dawn of War II, has completed the development phase and is now in production. The sequel to the critically acclaimed title of 2006 has been in development at Relic Entertainment, creators of the popular Company of Heros. Dawn of War II and it’s predecessor are real time strategy games based of the tabletop game of Warhammer 40,000 created by Games Workshop. I have not personally played the original Dawn of War, but it is a different take on the genre, similar to Company of Heroes. Description from the official site is below, check it out!
Developed by award winning Relic Entertainment, Dawn of War II ushers in a new chapter in the acclaimed Real-Time Strategy series – taking players to the brutal frontlines of war to lead an elite strike force on a mission to save the galaxy.
It is the 41st Millennium in Sub-Sector Aurelia – a cluster of worlds on the edge of the Galaxy – and a battle of epic proportions is about to begin. Ancient races will clash across the planets that dot this section of space, battling for the greatest of stakes – not only the claim to the land and its bounty – but the fate of each race.
With a focus on fast-action RTS gameplay, Dawn of War II brings to life the science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 like never before. Experience the intimate brutality of battle as you play through the epic campaign. Clash with enemies on battlefields ablaze with visceral hand-to-hand and ranged combat. Lead and develop your squads into the most battle hardened elite strike force in the Galaxy.
