Well! You all knew it was coming... and here it is
I'm super excited and proud to finally be able to talk about it with our community. The Relic Team has been working hard on this game, and I think you're all REALLY going to love it. And of course, thanks to our very own Nessy in Media Relations and Marketing for bringing this announcement to you.
Oh, and anyone thinking about coming to the Relic Community Appreciation Day this June in Vancouver... yes, we're going to show you a sneak peak of Dawn of War II! I'm extending invites to the event for a week, in case any DoW2 fans would like to come Click the link above for instructions on how to apply.
Anyhow, without further ado...

THQ AND RELIC ENTERTAINMENT SET TO WAGE WAR OF EPIC SCALE IN WARHAMMER® 40,000™: DAWN OF WAR® II
Sequel to Multi-Million Unit Selling Real Time Strategy Series Features Vicious Frontline Combat, Extensive Co-Op Campaign and Cinematic Visuals
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. April 3, 2008 -- THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) today announced that Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® II, the highly anticipated sequel from one of the industry’s premiere Real-Time Strategy (RTS) developers, Relic Entertainment, is scheduled to bring the 41st Millennium’s savage warfare to life like never before in spring 2009. Powered by an enhanced version of Relic’s proprietary Essence Engine 2.0™, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II will take players to the brutal frontlines of war where they’ll experience intense action and visceral combat through a non-linear single player experience and a fully co-operative multiplayer campaign. Set in Games Workshop’s (LSE: GAW) highly popular Warhammer 40,000 science fiction universe, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is being developed exclusively for Windows PC.
In addition, THQ is pleased to announce that gamers purchasing copies of the recently released Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® - Soulstorm™ will be able to participate in an invitation-only multiplayer beta program for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II set to take place at a future date.
“The original Dawn of War and its subsequent standalone expansions have established the series as one of the industry’s leading RTS franchises,” said Brad Carraway, vice president, global brand management, THQ. “Dawn of War II will re-define RTS gaming to gamers worldwide, delivering brutal frontline action and tactics, and allowing players to get straight to the action with unprecedented fast-paced RTS gameplay and a full co-op campaign, all in stunning cinematic detail.”
“We started with everything fans loved about the original Dawn of War and then added more than they ever could have hoped for in the sequel into Dawn of War II,” said Tarrnie Williams, general manager, Relic Entertainment. “Leveraging our critically acclaimed Essence Engine 2.0, gamers will develop and lead an elite strike force through Games Workshop’s war-torn universe, engage in devastating combat among the ruins of fully destructible battlefields, and be immersed in an ever-changing single-player and co-op multiplayer campaign.”
About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is set in the grim, war-ravaged world of Games Workshop’s (LSE: GAW) Warhammer 40,000 universe – a dark, futuristic, science-fiction setting where armies of technologically advanced warriors, fighting machines and hordes of implacable aliens wage constant war. Developed by critically acclaimed RTS developer Relic Entertainment, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II ushers in a new chapter in the acclaimed RTS series, as ancient races – including the dauntless Space Marines and savage Orks - clash across ruined worlds on a mission to claim the galaxy and preserve their own existence. Powered by the re-vamped Essence Engine 2.0, the next evolution of Relic’s proprietary game engine made famous in the award winning Company of Heroes, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II will deliver fast-paced RTS action with ferocious melee and ranged combat in fully destructible environments. Immersing players in an in-depth non-linear single-player campaign and a fully-co-operative multiplayer mode, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is set to deliver the most visually-stunning Warhammer 40,000 setting ever created.

According to punt's thread over at the Dawn of War Asia forums, we know that Tec Drome and Comic Connection will have the highly anticipated expansion by Monday afternoon!
This is great news can't wait to get my hands on the game. It's not fair that those Aussies and Americans have the game before us!  |

Following the recent Gamespy article on Soulstorm, Nessy from THQ mentioned that she had a small little surprise coming up real soon. That turned out to be the brand new boxart for Dawn of War's 3rd expansion.

As mentioned by Jeff earlier, Ravana[X3M] has a site up
http://www.dawnofwarasia.com/
Now the forums for Dawn of War Asia are live! They can be found here!
Ravana is also searching for article writers and newsposters. If you're interested in helping out, details can be found in the forum.
I highly encourage everyone to register and start posting over there. As Dawn of War Asia takes flight, I think it'd be much better if we shift all discussions over there, so this is most probably the last update on these forums.
Thanks everyone, Jeff, NeoHunter Waba etc for helping out. Let's look forward to a vibrant Dawn of War Asia community! |

The WCG Grand Finals in Italy just ended, and the winner is once again...
Select from Korea!! He played mainly Chaos in a competition dominated by Space Marines players.
The replays can be found here.
You need to view them on Winter Assault 1.51 and NOT Dark Crusade!  |
