Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition is the complete, genre-defining real-time strategy classic rebuilt as one definitive package. Relive the brutal wars of the 41st Millennium with everything that made the original legendary—now refined for modern hardware—featuring four complete campaigns, nine fully playable factions, and over 100 maps in a single game.

At its heart, Dawn of War delivers fast, violent battlefield command where territory control, reinforcements, and decisive unit engagements matter as much as base development. From desperate infantry clashes to heavy armor and devastating abilities, every battle is a celebration of Warhammer 40,000’s scale and brutality.

Definitive Edition upgrades preserve the classic feel while improving clarity and presentation. Expect enhanced visuals through image-based lighting, upgraded unit textures, improved world lighting and reflections, more detailed shadows, surface gloss, and emissive effects. Every unit has received texture upscaling of at least 4x its original resolution for sharper readability. Updates also include improved pathfinding for smoother unit control, plus an improved gameplay camera with increased draw distance that shines on modern widescreen and 4K displays, alongside a HUD and layout optimized for today’s resolutions.

Built on a 64-bit platform, the game supports long-term community creativity with an integrated Mod Manager and compatibility with decades of community mods.

Choose your army from nine iconic forces: the orbital might of the Space Marines, the rampaging Orks, the elusive Eldar, the corrupted legions of Chaos, the armored columns of the Imperial Guard, the advanced firepower of the Tau and their Kroot allies, the relentless Necrons, the predatory Dark Eldar, and the zealous Sisters of Battle.

Four campaigns offer both narrative and strategic conquest: fight as the Blood Ravens on Tartarus, wage the Winter Assault on Lorn V as Order or Disorder, dominate Kronus in the non-linear Dark Crusade, and survive the system-wide war of Soulstorm, playable as any faction.

When you’re ready to test your skills, jump into 2–8 player multiplayer with team battles or free-for-all across numerous modes and maps.
