Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III News

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.

Skulls for the Skull Throne 2 + Obsidian Knight Skin

Dawn of War III is 75% off for a limited time during Skulls for the Skull Throne 2 ! We wanted to celebrate this festival of all things Warhammer gaming by releasing a brand new Elite unit skin, the Obsidian Knight Paladin skin, free for all users!

The Obsidian Knight is something of a legend in the 40K universe, with the first sighting during the Damocles Gulf Crusade. Fighting alongside the Imperial armies against the Tau Empire, the Obsidian Knight was spotted in a number of massive battles, racking up an astounding number of kills. The Knight’s appearance was cheered by Imperial soldiers until the closing of the campaign, when it vanished into legend, only to appear again centuries later…
