Hey everyone! Get ready to dive back into the grim darkness of the far future because Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is launching on August 14th for PC! Relic Entertainment is bringing this classic RTS to Steam and GOG, and I, for one, am super stoked.

If you already own the Anniversary Edition, you're in luck! You'll get a sweet 30% discount on the Definitive Edition. That's a pretty cool move, ensuring loyal fans aren't left out in the cold. This discount will be available on both Steam and GOG for the "foreseeable future", so no rush!

What's New?

The Definitive Edition is basically the Dawn of War we all know and love, but with a fresh coat of paint. Think of it as your favorite old sweater, but it's been professionally cleaned and maybe has some cool new patches. It includes all the Dawn of War and standalone expansion content, and we are talking about four classic campaigns, with nine armies and over 200 maps all in one place. For example, you will be able to command the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar and Chaos forces to conquer the battlefields.

But it's not just a visual upgrade. The game has been upgraded to a 64-bit platform, meaning it's ready for the future and the modding community. Speaking of which, it's compatible with over 20 years of community mods! That's incredible! This means you can customize your experience to your heart's content. I'm excited to see what kind of crazy new content people come up with.

If you are like me and care about the visuals, the game features 4K support and upscaled textures - four times the originals. Also, improved shadows, unit reflections, and world lighting will enhance the moment-to-moment action!

In short, get ready to "Cleanse, purge, kill!"
