We’re excited to bring you the largest update yet for Dawn of War III! Here’s a rundown of what’s included in the Endless War update:

  • Three new Elite units
  • Three new multiplayer maps
  • Five new Elite skins, including the Primaris skin for Chaplain Diomedes

  • Various bug fixes

Those elite units are as follows:

Eldar get a Wraithseer who commands psychic energies and can immolate foes with warp-fueled powers.

Orks get the incredible Lifta-Droppa Wagon, which in the video not only is capable of throwing enemies across the map (and some boyz lookin’ for a good scrap too), it can also send itself rocketing backwards as it fires its weapons, using its massive bulk to crush enemies.

And then of course there’s the Ironclad Dreadnought for the Blood Angels, who seems to be all about massive AoE attacks.

And then of course there are new maps, and a ton of updates. The patch notes are actually quite extensive–for those of you who are curious, here’s a peek:
