They'll most likely reveal it at gamescom this week. (this is the second teaser picture, and the fuse on the bomb is shorter this time.)
I'm guessing they'll add another (new) race as well, like Imperial Guard.
Really looking forward to it, after playing through Starcraft 2, I realized that aside from Blizzard's awesome cutscenes, I actually liked DoW2 better. (mostly Chaos Rising)
" Do people even like Orks? I played the table top game and the Orks were always a big joke that people played ironically. "Everybody loves Orks. People you played with are weird.

Because It's a brutal, fun and very diverse army to play and the miniatures look great! They are also not as GRIMDARK!!! as most of the other races. It's nice to play as a positive and happy race." @HeroicDrinkingSong said:

Orkz is never defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!
Yes, I own an army. :P
" @Bones8677 said:Gargantuan pretty much nailed it. Their not my personal cup of tea, but a lot of people enjoy the humor inherent in the race. And from a gameplay perspective "They'se all 'bout smashin tings!"

I'd find it surprising if they did an ork focused campaign because chaos rising ended on a cliffhanger.
That';s some pretty cool artwork there. I wouldn't have thought they'd just make an expansion pack for a race that's already in the game. Honestly I was expecting an tau expansion if anything. I think they'd fit into DoW2 quite nicely and a campaign style unlock system for them would work quite well with all the variety in their army.
"I'd find it surprising if they did an ork focused campaign because chaos rising ended on a cliffhanger. "
Well, if it is an expansion there's probably more to it than just a slightly different group of Orks.
The Ork thing might be a new game mode, somthing like The Last Stand.
If it's reall a full-on expansion I expect them to add another race. We'll probably find out tomorrow anyway.
" @KowalskiTakePoint said:I'd think the new game mode idea is more likely than a campaign where you play as Orks. The way DOW II works, (with small elite units) doesn't really jive with what the Orks are all about. I do agree that the Tau would work in that format but as others have pointed out Chaos Rising ended on a cliff hanger so I'd expect that this expansion is going to be the conclusion to that story."I'd find it surprising if they did an ork focused campaign because chaos rising ended on a cliffhanger.

" @IncredibleBulk92: The Chaos Rising expansion pack was still a Space Marine campaign, so this could be the same thing. Ork in campaign facing a new race, who that could be is anyones guess. "Oh yea. Idiot me. I still think I'd be more excited about a tau campaign than an ork campaign. The ork strategy bores me.
