The remastered version arrives on August 14, bringing enhanced visuals and gameplay improvements while offering a 30% discount to owners of the Anniversary Edition.
Originally announced in May alongside other Warhammer 40K updates, this definitive release modernizes the 2004 RTS classic for today’s hardware. Key upgrades include 4K resolution support, upscaled textures (quadrupling the original quality), and refined lighting effects for sharper shadows and reflections.

When the original Dawn of War debuted, critics praised its immersive world-building and strategic depth. Eurogamer’s 8/10 review hailed it as a flawless execution of the Warhammer 40K universe, setting a high bar for future RTS titles. Now, with these visual and technical refinements, both veterans and newcomers can experience the game like never before.
