More strategizin' is on the way for Relic's sci-fi RTS in October.
Relic has taken the wraps off the new downloadable add-on for Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II. It's called The Last Stand, and it's out in October. Since I am woefully behind on games and DOWII is still sitting unplayed in my Steam account, I'm going to let the press release do the talking for me here.
The Last Stand is a cooperative survival mode that gives gamers control of an individual hero unit and drops a small multiplayer team into a battle with impossible odds. Players can choose between a Space Marine Captain, Eldar Farseer or Ork Mekboy and will team up with two other squad-mates in an attempt to hold out as long as possible against wave after wave of relentless attackers. Hero units level up and are fully customizable as new armor and weapons become available from game to game. Working together to devise innovative strategies is the key to success in this brand-new battle mode.
The Last Stand download also contains two new multiplayer maps, balance updates and bug fixes for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II.
Here's a cinematic trailer and the first screenshots for the DLC, which doesn't seem to have a price listed just yet. (EDIT: Because it's FREE. My mistake. Propers, Relic!)

How does this stuff strike you? Ready to dust your copy of the game off now, or have you been playing it all this time? I still hope I can try it someday.
That lair too cool but the great profètresse is much stronger than before. In short I can not wait !!!!!!!! If he goes after another version is expected to campaign with other RECES.
Nice! I just loaded up Steam again after rebuilding my PC and remembered I still have this. Need to get around to actually finishing the campaign, and this is a good excuse to do just that!
If it was single player DLC, I would be a lot more excited. But doesn't every game nowadays seem to have a co-op survival mode? Maybe it's just because I've been seeing so much about Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode but these modes seem to be becoming a continuing trend in games.
I have been playing a fair amout of the multiplayer since it came out and this looks like it will be great to play with some of my mates who also have the game
Free is GREAT! I never played the multiplayer portion of DOW2 (aside from bots) but I really enjoyed the main game. I don't have any DOW2 playing buddies though so I don't think I'll end up getting to enjoy this.
The WH40K 3rd person action game Space Marine looks pretty interesting though. I'd like to see Relic blend the two genres and call the game Blood Raven Squad.
This DLC is free, and should be good fun for all the people too casual to play this game online versus. I've been playing this quite a bit since the last patch that was a major improvement to the balance.
