Dawn of War Soulstorm Expansion Hits Steam

by Nick Breckon, Mar 05, 2008 6:33pm PST

Valve moments ago announced that the stand-alone PC strategy expansion Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm is now available for digital purchase on Steam for the price of $39.95.

Developed by the now-defunct studio Iron Lore Entertainment, Soulstorm expands on Relic's RTS franchise by adding two new races for a total of nine playable factions, with new aerial units appended to each army's arsenal.

All nine races will be enabled for play in the campaign mode, but only those who own the previous titles in the series will have access to the full selection during multiplayer sessions.

A demo for the game is also available on Fileshack.

I just re-bought DOW and the first expansion and I'm worried. How will this game be maintained if Iron Lore are now out of business?

Patches? Balance Issues?
