Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition releases next month

Relic Entertainment have announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition will arrive on PC via Steam and GOG this August 15. In celebration of the news, a new trailer has been released, check it out.

The Definitive Edition includes all the Dawn of War and standalone expansion content; four classic Dawn of War Campaigns, nine Armies, and over 200 Maps all in one game. The game will feature 4K support, upscaled textures (four times the originals), and image-based lighting for a higher level of fidelity while retaining the classic experience.

World lighting, unit reflections, and shadows have all been improved, and new unit gloss and emissive lighting will faithfully enhance the moment-to-moment action. An improved gameplay camera will show the battlefield like never before and the HUD and screen layout have been optimized for widescreen viewing. It has also been upgraded to a 64-bit platform to support the ongoing efforts of the modding community and will be compatible with over 20-years of lovingly crafted community mods.

Anyone who already owns the game on Steam or GOG will get a discount for this version of the game, should you wish to get it.
