About the Game


Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions

In Dawn of War III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.

With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.

UNLEASH THE GIANTS


Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar).

COLOSSAL BATTLES


Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or mighty orbital Star Forts.

CALL UP YOUR ELITES


Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes.

DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES


Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals.

THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN


Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war.

A NEW DAWN ONLINE


Your army will wreak havoc online. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - or turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.

ONE ARMY TO RULE


Customize your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps.

BUY ONLY WHEN ON SALE. I purchased this for 8 dollars and thought it was amazing. I really didn't understand the hate. If you were a fan of Halo Wars this is it. But this game was originally 59.99 it makes complete

It has some good moments in the campaign but the fact it never grew pretty much ended it as a good DoW game. It has fewer factions, albeit more playable factions than DoW 1 before any expansions and 1 fewer playable

I avoided this for 9 years but with the upcoming DoW4 release, I thought I might invest the 15 or so hours needed for this. I didn't really like it. I absolutely hate the MOBA style gameplay where you have to pop

If you expect to play the entire game as the Space Marine faction, you will be sorely disappointed. You are essentially forced to play most of the game as either Orks or Eldar. If you prefer those factions, then you
