VANCOUVER, BC – July 11, 2025 – Relic Entertainment is excited to announce Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition will officially launch August 14, 2025!
The Definitive Edition brings the iconic real-time strategy classic into the modern era, optimized for today’s hardware and enhanced with updated visuals. The Definitive Edition will be available for PC via Steam and GOG for USD $29.99.
As a thank-you to our loyal fans, players who already own Dawn of War - Anniversary Edition will receive a 30% discount on the Definitive Edition. This upgrade offer will be available on both Steam and GOG and will remain active for the foreseeable future.
To celebrate, we’ve enhanced the original Dawn of War trailer in 4K. A perfect way to relive the glory and prepare to serve...again.
Finally, after hearing from our players, we have added Pathfinding Improvements to the list of enhancements players can expect from the Definitive Edition.
About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition
The Definitive Edition includes all the Dawn of War and Standalone Expansion content; 4 Classic Dawn of War Campaigns, 9 Armies, and over 200 Maps all in one game. The game will feature 4K support, upscaled textures (4x the originals), and image-based lighting for a higher level of fidelity while retaining the classic experience. World lighting, unit reflections, and shadows have all been improved, and new unit gloss and emissive lighting will faithfully enhance the moment-to-moment action. An improved gameplay camera will show the battlefield like never before and the HUD and screen layout have been optimized for widescreen viewing. It has also been upgraded to a 64-bit platform to support the ongoing efforts of the modding community and will be compatible with over 20-years of lovingly crafted community mods. In addition and responding to the community, we've added pathfindind improvements to this list of enhancements!
