Currently being produced by Relic Entertainment and Sega, in partnership with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is an upcoming real-time strategy game set to release in 2017 for Microsoft Windows. This is the third stand-alone Dawn of War title in the series and the first new release in the series since Dawn of War II: Retribution.
Fanboy Nation was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview at E3 2016 to find out more about how the latest additions to the game and how it will stand out from its predecessors.
Story
An immensely powerful weapon was discovered on the planet Acheron. Upon learning of this knowledge, three forces converge on the planet to obtain the weapon for themselves: the Blood Ravens Space Marines, the Eldar, and an Ork horde. Leading each of these factions respectively are legendary commander Gabriel Angelos, Farseer Macha (who is returning from the first game), and Warlord Gorgutz (making this his fourth appearance).
Gameplay
Initially, only the Space Marines of the Blood Ravens, the Eldar, and the Orks will be available to play. The game will return to the traditional RTS basebuilding and include larger-scale walker units such as the Imperial Knights for the Space Marines, Wraithknights for Eldar, and Gorkanauts for Orks.
