Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III News

Scale, scope and super units: how Dawn of War 3 is shaking the series up

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. That's the premise of Warhammer's 40k universe, and it'd be a bleak and disheartening thing if not for one simple fact: war, at least as it's portrayed in Relic's strategy series, is awesome.


Here's the full Warhammer 40k codex on Dawn of War III: release date, trailers and campaign details all in one place.


The Dawn of War series pedigree is strong enough that, among strategy gamers, 'original vs sequel' is a debate that rages as strongly as Alien vs Aliens (it's the former, obviously). The first DoW let you build bases and bring together massive armies, while its successor focused on squad combat and much smaller engagements, but gave each of your squads more personality. Whichever side of the fence you fall on, what's clear is that both are great.

What if: THQ hadn't lost the rights to Dawn of War, Evolve, or South Park?

The butterfly effect, as we all know by now, is a principle established by the philosopher and chaos theorist Ashton Kutcher. A butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the globe, some suburban kids have bad childhoods on the other. Groundbreaking movie.


But let's take that philosophical theory and replace the movement of an insect's wings with consumer behaviour circa March 2011. In an alternate reality that we're realising with the force of our combined imaginations, THQ's Homefront was quite good. Not stellar, you understand - just a decent shooter, up there with the medium-good Call of Dutys. The kind of game that hoovers up review scores in the low to mid 80s, hangs about in the charts for a while, then fades from memory.


In that other dimension, THQ's share price doesn't drop 27% in the immediate aftermath of Homefront's release. Despite making a massive investment in the game, its financials are stable because the metascore of 81 is leading to decent sales. And that means there's way less pressure on Homefront's stablemate, uDraw.
