An endless battle encompassing hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Dozens of factions, all outfitted with their own weaponry, armor, and physical abilities. Warhammer 40k is built for the RTS genre – it’s where the Space Marines and Chaos feel most at home. Almost 20 years on, Dawn of War remains one of the best-loved games in the entire 40k canon. Developed by Relic, the studio behind Company of Heroes and the gorgeous anniversary edition of Age of Empires 4, it’s like a bulky, grimy reimagining of Command and Conquer, combining classic real-time mechanics with the defining Warhammer art style. And now, it’s coming back. A new Dawn of War remaster is officially in the works.
