Dawn of War 3 to combine DOW1 and 2 - briefly
(hx) 02:23 AM CEST - Jun,16 2011 - Post a comment / read (2)
As part of Gamescom 2010 yesterday, THQ took the lid off of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution, the second full expansion to Relic's well-regarded sci-fi real-time strategy series. It now appears as if it will also be the last, as THQ core games vice president Danny Bilson told Eurogamer that once Relic ships Retribution in February, the team will transition into working on Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: "We're working on the next-generation of that franchise right now," Bilson said.

"I feel like an ass saying it's fantastic, but it is. And we're going to do something with it you haven't seen before.

"Preserving some things that have always been great about the first two generations of it, going back to 1 on some things, 2 on some things, and 3 will bring us some new things.

"When you see it you're going to go, whoa. I promise."

Bilson suggested the Warhammer 40K RTS would launch between 18 months and two years after Dawn of War II - Retribution, pegging DOWIII for the August 2012 to February 2013 window.

He also said the game may "be a more digital free-to-play experience with all the depth and quality of a Relic RTS" - depending on the performance of Company of Heroes Online.

Yep.. DoW2 was a console RTS load of whore! A frick'n arcade strategy game. DoW1 has sooo much more replayability and scalability its hilarious! Now if DoW3 can go back to its roots then damn.. I'm VERY there.. DoW2 was a blemish and the WRONG direction for RTSes (spoon-fed dumbed-down bling bling strategy).
