Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is the eighth entry in the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series. Critically acclaimed, and boasting a strong community, over the series has sold eight million copies, which is a pretty strong number for a Real Time Strategy series.

The Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War franchise is based on the products designed by Games workshop.

Keeping with that tradition, the video games span multiple genres, with mostly positive fan reactions, so hopefully, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III will be able to live up to those expectations come April 27.
