After almost 7 years of waiting, SEGA and Relic Entertainment have finally revealed that Dawn of War III will return to base-building when it releases exclusively for the PC in 2017.
Players will be able to lead elite hero units and massive armies to victory, or oblivion. This is Relic bringing the series into the "modern era", building on 12 years of "explosive gameplay" by combining the base-building featured in the first game with the customization and heroes of Dawn of War II.
Will Dawn of War III end up on our list of The Best Strategy Games for PC?
“This is the Dawn of War that fans have been waiting for,” said Stephen MacDonald, the title’s Executive Producer. “Our biggest units ever? Check. Giant orbital lasers? Check. Base-building, epic heroes, huge battles, it’s all in there. Get ready for the biggest Dawn of War yet. For the Emperor!”
"Powerful super-walkers will tower over the front lines as screen-shaking assaults blister the battlefield in an all-out, over-the-top spectacle worthy of the iconic Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 universe." said Relic in the press release.
Dawn of War III will be the first title released by Relic Entertainment that's produced entirely as a SEGA-owned studio. The first two titles were released before SEGA bought the franchise from THQ in 2013.
"This announcement is a big moment for all of us at Relic, and at SEGA," said Justin Dowdeswell, General Manager at Relic. "We’re setting the bar for what we can achieve, and showing players what they can expect from us in the future. This is just the beginning."
