Dawn of War 2 made a bold shift away from the scale of the first game. It dropped base building and huge armies and replaced them with a cluster of upgradeable units with skill trees and armour slots. If you felt that the Dawn of War 2 format failed to capture the enormous armies and planet-sized scraps of the Warhammer 40K universe, then you might want to keep a close eye on Dawn of War 3. Relic marketing manager James McDermott told Eurogamer that the sequel will let you “build your own custom mega army,” and aims to capture the sense of a “war that rages eternal.” Oh my.

“Looking at what we had real success with with Dawn of War II – Retribution, with the DLC, and with customisation and building their armies and collecting being a big part of what 40k fans really love, we want to make that a big part of DOW3,” said McDermott. “There’s going to be lots of opportunities to expand and build your own custom mega army. That’s definitely an area we want to invest in.”

“With the 40k universe, the tagline is: there is only war. We want to give you that greater sense of the war. The battle. The war that rages eternal, and make that feel like that’s really imposing and all around you, and you have your own personal, custom army in there.”

“Your army and my army should feel very different. That’s where we would like to get to.”

There are no solid Dawn of War 3 details just yet, but Relic have said that they’re planning a big announcement at Gamescom this year. What would you like to see them announce?

Recently they have said they are trying to mix customization in DoW2 campaign, into multiplayer, and bring it to the scale of the Apoc Mod. No source on that comment for you though.

Either way, interesting
