Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 is the latest RTS game from veteran developer Relic. Set to hit PCs in the spring it combines big Gears of War style Space Marines with World of Warcraft style characters like Orks and a mysterious race called the Tyranid. The latest trailer highlights the marines and shows off some of their classes including the likes of the Tacticle Marine Squad, Devastator, Scout, Assault Team, and Force Commander. Like Relic's other popular RTS, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War 2 focuses on the action rather than resource gathering and base building.
While co-op details aren't confirmed, the rumor has it that the entire game's open ended campaign can be played in co-op with another player.
Also, with Dawn of War 2 being a Games for Windows title, you get those shiny little things called achievements - which we've posted after the break along with the video.
