WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually real!!!! Really hope it's done well like DOW 1 or DOW 2 or a mix. It'll be even more hyped for this than Witcher 4 and maybe even RE9 and GTA VI. Really need a long lasting fun and epic RTS game again!

 

[Xyphie]

Looks like it's not from Relic?

 

[peish]

who is kingart?

poor relic, they cant even get this job.

 

[Zathalus]

Awww yes, love the Thousand Sons Blood Ravens.

 

[KyoZz]

Looks like it's not from Relic?

It's from KingArt (those who made Iron Harvest)

Ahem... I believe you meant to say: "WAAAAAAAGGGGGH!".

 

[Kacho]

Relic only has themselves to blame. Their output the past decade was putrid.

 

[calico]

 

[Kacho]

Looks like Total War

 

[diffusionx]

We're so back

 

[BossLackey]

Ahhh helllll yeahhhhhh

 

[Emedan]

Sweet, playing the DOW definitive edition right now, such a good game.

 

[peish]

It's from KingArt (those who made Iron Harvest)

lol that must hurt relic even more.

Iron harvest started as a clone of coh/dow, it looked good previs, but i think patches stopped after it got launched to lukewarm reception

 

[Mattdaddy]

Lets fucking go!!!

Between DoW remaster and SM2 I've been on a 40k tear lately.

Might have to fire up DoW2 up next.

 

[balls of snow]

Fucking fire. The only warhammer thing I play. Guess I will get that remaster of Dawn of War 1 now.

 

[Topher]

 

[Kadve]

Relic only has themselves to blame. Their output the past decade was putrid.

Looks like the DOW IP didn't transfer when Sega bought Relic though. Considering Deep Silver is publishing this thing

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Makes you think what were they smoking trying to turn dawn of war into a moba with 3.

Meh I thought 2 was the pinnacle of the series. Would Prefer that gameplay over going back to what dawn of war 1 was. Will buy.

Sweet, to the top of my wishlist it goes, couldnt but notice it "requires 3rd-Party Account: PROS" hope its not a problem, but no Eldar nor traitor legions, for real?

Well, i was tired of chaos so it works for me, but not sure how to feel about it.

 

[Topher]

Well, i was tired of chaos so it works for me, but not sure how to feel about it.

My guess is they are saving other factions for DLC like prior DoW games

 

[SpokkX]

Omg will buy

 

[Kacho]

Sounds like single player won't be treated as an afterthought. Pretty awesome. Never understood Blizzard chasing the 00.1% of players with StarCraft.

 

[T8SC]

At last back to war.

It is better to die for the Emperor than live for yourself.

Glad they've gone back to the original DoW gameplay.

 

[IDKFA]

Kacho

What did I say, baby!

 

[Hudo]

The only good game at Geoff Keighley's shitfest. Or at least I hope it's a good game... Dawn of War 3 was shit (because they tried to make it a MOBA). Dawn of War 2 was solid if you don't compare it to the first Dawn of War.

This looks like they've looked at DoW 1, which is good.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I am so excited to get into this game and lore.
Mechanicus 2 gonna come out some time soon, an RTS, amazing TPS and a TV show.

Atleast Disney won't buy this franchise.

 

[Hudo]

 

[BennyBlanco]

We are so back

 

[Hudo]

So... the developer is King Art, not Relic.

That's... fucking weird.

 

[Fbh]

One of the few good announcements from the show.
Looks dope.

 

[mopspear]

Amazing. So when we get a remaster of something now, we get a sequel soon after?

 

[Lord Panda]

Was getting really hyped watching the trailer then realised it's a King Art title.

They're last game Iron Harvest looked great in the trailers too, but turned out to be pretty average.

Hopefully a far larger budget and established world will allow King Art to cook up something special.

 

[IDKFA]

Lets fucking go!!!

Between DoW remaster and SM2 I've been on a 40k tear lately.

Prepare for more.

Rumor on the grapevine is that Creative Assembly will be revealing Total War:40K at the Total War anniversary event in December.

Ohhhhhhhhh hell yes!!

 

[Judge Magister]

Iron Harvest devs. Let's see if it ends up being good.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Yeah Iron Harvest was pretty mid. But I believe it was their first game so maybe with a bigger budget and more experience they can land this.

 

[Hudo]

Iron Harvest devs. Let's see if it ends up being good.

I am carefully optimistiic. While Iron Harvest had its flaws, and I want to believe that most of the flaws can be explained by a lack of budget, it's still a better Company of Heroes game than CoH3 ended up being. So maybe Games Workshop made the right choice.

I want to believe.

 

[calico]

Not too worried about the dev. Iron Harvest wasn't amazing, but it's comparable or better than anything Relic has done lately. Prime Relic would be preferable, but that option no longer exists.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Best game in the show and gonna be the best game of 2025 if it comes this year since it does says coming soon rather than to be announced on steam.

 

[calico]

"The Blood Ravens have returned to Kronus, 200 years after the events of Dawn of War expansion The Dark Crusade"

Kickstarted by KING Art 12 years ago

 

[A.Romero]

WTF? Did this come out of nowhere or I've missed it before?

Great choice to have it go back to it's roots.

Hopefully they will do a good job like Relic did back in the day.

 

[Hudo]

"The Blood Ravens have returned to Kronus, 200 years after the events of Dawn of War expansion The Dark Crusade"

This was actually a pretty solid spiritual successor to Battle Isle

 

[SpokkX]

Most hyped game right here

TW:WH3 is just so amazing

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks like a mobile game lmao. What the fuck...

 

[Neon Xenon]

Interested, but cautious. Not familiar with KING Art enough to have an early impression on how the actual RTS gameplay will be (I've had Iron Harvest wishlisted for a while now, I'll get it on a deep sale), but I'm hoping for the best.

I do think that showing gameplay, early as it is, was a good call just to show people, "This ain't gonna be that DoW3 shit."

 

[SABRE220]

Dear god finally a good rts on the horizon and its 40k based, praise the omnissiah! Also as a bonus the dawn of war series is probably the only 40k material where the eldar gets some actual respect instead of being the official embarassing punching bag of the series.

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Im so excited but also so worried...

I know it is not Relic which can be something good, but something doesnt look right in the trailer, idk. I mean, it is not at half as good as the DoW 3 trailer, but that game turn out to be awful. I fucking kid you not I though the game was going to be a mobile F2P game for a moment when they showed the game play.

BUT, I will keep a close eye to it. I love the OG DoW.

 

[joey Dubs]

I am not at all into RTS anything ever, but even I can appreciate Warhammer RTS. I hope it is everything that fans want it to be!

 

[DCDW]

Day 1 for me. I've enjoyed all 3 DoWs.
