Dawn of War 2: Retribution 'Launch' trailer prepares us for battle
by Xav de Matos, Feb 25, 2011 9:00pm PSTOn March 1, developer Relic Entertainment plans to unleash its latest onslaught against our spare time with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 - Retribution.
If you aren't sure what the latest battle to the death in the RTS series is about, publisher THQ has released a new trailer that explains the motivation for war starring a number of characters in the stand-alone expansion to help explain the situation. Basically, kill everyone that isn't on your side.
It goes without saying that the game looks nothing like the trailer; however, based on our recent time with the game and in interviewing its producer Jeff Lydell, we're of the mind that it could be just as intense.
Also intense? Multiple pre-order bonuses based on where the game is pre-purchased. But this is more of the burning in the pit of our gut kind of intense.

I think the lore is really good. A buddy got me into the books and I've rather enjoyed them. Some of the stories are pretty deep.
But whatever, if you want "communism is the way of the future and I don't want to work for a living" or some such liberal nonsense then I guess the 40K books may not be your cup of tea.
