THQ has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, the sequel to Dawn of War is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2009. The game is to be powered by an enhanced version of Relic’s proprietary Essence Engine 2.0 and will take players to the frontlines of war where they’ll experience intense action through a non-linear single player experience and a fully co-operative multiplayer campaign.
Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is being developed exclusively for Windows PC.
In addition, THQ has revealed that gamers who purchase copies of the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm will be able to participate in an invitation-only multiplayer beta program for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II set to take place at an unconfirmed future date.
