Dawn of War II: Retribution Announced, Features More Factions

Stand-alone title to feature a multiple-race campaign, new units, and a new multiplayer race.

A second stand-alone expansion for Relic Entertainment's RTS Dawn of War II is slated to hit in the first quarter of 2011, THQ has revealed this morning in a press release. 

Retribution, as it's called, takes place after the events in Chaos Rising and will feature a multiple-race campaign, a first for the Dawn of War series. Not much has been revealed in the either narrative or online realm, but THQ did make it known that the first race you'll be able to experience in Retribution will be the Orks. As for the multiplayer, all that's being promised at this time are new maps, units, and a new race when the game ships. 
 
   

  

In a statement, Relic's Jeff Lydell said that Relic loves the Blood Ravens, but admitted that fans wanted more races and armies to pick from, so Relic is "[allowing] the player the freedom to experience the campaign from the perspective they select." 
  
You can handle two RTS titles at the same time, right StarCraft II fans?
