Summary

  • Relic Entertainment has announced Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition to “optimise” the 2004 real-time strategy game for modern hardware.
  • The game will include nine different armies, 200 maps, and upscaled textures, as well as image-based lighting.
  • The company says in a press release that “world lighting, unit reflections and shadows” have been improved and new gloss and emissive lighting has been added.
  • The game will be compatible with over 20 years of fan-made mods.
  • However, some have criticised the move as a way for the company to make a quick cash grab while it works on a newer, more innovative title.
  • Fans can currently purchase an Anniversary Edition of the game on Steam for 80% off until 29 May.
