Game publisher THQ has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II has shipped for Windows PCs. Based on the popular tabletop boardgame from Games Workshop, Dawn of War II extends THQ’s Warhammer real-time strategy (RTS) and combat franchise by combining both a non-linear single-player game with cooperative multiplayer campaigns via MIcrosoft’s free Games for Windows Live service. Dawn of War II aims to appeal to both RTS veterans and new players by getting people into the action quickly, while also adding destructible environments, new weapons, and shifting stories—and, unlike many RTS games that involve manipulating massive armies and resources, Dawn of War II focuses on small squads an individually customized units.

Game publisher THQ has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade has been released to manufacturing and should hit retailers worldwide on October 9, 2006. Dark Crusade is the second hybrid expansion to the company’s Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War real-time strategy game which is playable as a standalone game.

In Dark Crusade, players can take on all seven races—including the new Necrons and Tau—and fans with the entire Dawn of War series can access new units across each of the game’s five original races, new bonus content, and the ability to utilize all seven races in multiplayer mode.  Read more...
