Publisher Sega and developer Relic Entertainment have announced Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War – Definitive Edition, an upgraded remaster of the original Dawn of War game.

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is in development for Windows PC (via Steam and GOG) with a release set for later in 2025.

“The Definitive Edition celebrates the original Dawn of War and preserves the legacy of this landmark Warhammer 40,000 title for years to come,” says Justin Dowdeswell, CEO at Relic Entertainment in a press release. “Warhammer 40,000 is more popular than ever, and we want new players to experience where the classic Dawn of War franchise began, while providing a platform for our long-time fans to relive it in its entirety.”

Here’s a rundown on the new release, plus its reveal trailer:

This is the iconic Dawn of War as players remember it, but optimized for modern hardware. The award winning and genre-defining classic real-time strategy game has been updated for today’s PC audience while remaining faithful to the grimdark original. “Cleanse, purge, kill!”

The Definitive Edition includes all the Dawn of War and Standalone Expansion content; 4 Classic Dawn of War Campaigns, 9 Armies, and over 200 Maps all in one game. The game will feature 4K support, upscaled textures (4x the originals), and image-based lighting for a higher level of fidelity while retaining the classic experience. World lighting, unit reflections, and shadows have all been improved, and new unit gloss and emissive lighting will faithfully enhance the moment-to-moment action. An improved gameplay camera will show the battlefield like never before and the HUD and screen layout have been optimized for widescreen viewing. It has also been upgraded to a 64-bit platform to support the ongoing efforts of the modding community and will be compatible with over 20-years of lovingly crafted community mods.
