by Chris Faylor, Jun 18, 2009 11:43am PDTWarhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II (PC) developer Relic today pulled back the curtain on the summer-due "There is Only War" update, said to bring "new features, major balance improvements, and new content" to the action-RTS.
In terms of content, eight new multiplayer maps (seen above), ranging from 1v1 to 3v3, and the ability to spectate custom multiplayer matches will be included.
To help test the various changes and bug fixes, an open beta for the update will be held in early July. The beta will be open to all Dawn of War II owners, according to a developer update, and more details are due in the coming weeks. Thanks to eonix for the tip.
