Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions

In Dawn of War III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.

With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.

UNLEASH THE GIANTS
Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar).

COLOSSAL BATTLES
Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or mighty orbital Star Forts.

CALL UP YOUR ELITE
Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes.

DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES
Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals.

THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN
Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war.

ONE ARMY TO RULE
Build your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps.

A NEW DAWN ONLINE
Your army will wreak havoc in online skirmish mode. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - then turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.
 
I like the larger scale. DoW II felt too small to me. Not just the unit sizes, but the terrain, the weapon ranges, everything just felt cramped.
 
Yum !
I was a bit disappointed with DoW2 squad size (though the game was good overall), reading this "massive armies" just makes me excited !
 
Looks promising but I have a few concerns. Number 1, only 3 factions is pretty disappointing, I just have to hope it sells well enough for expansions to add on to that. Number 2, the thing I hated most about Dawn of War 2 when I tried it back when it first came out was the lack of base building. Is that back in this game or not? The trailer really doesn't give any indication of that, and to me, an RTS game just isn't an RTS game with no base building. Much as I love Warhammer 40K, I'm afraid that's kind of a deal breaker for me if it's not in.
 
I hope they bring in more factions as well, but as long as the campaign is long and engaging enough 3 should be plenty for me to start with as you're able to go through the campaign with each race.

No details about base building yet, but it makes sense to me that that would go along with large armies.

I like what I'm seeing so far. There hasn't been a good large scale RTS since Supreme Commander/Forged Alliance so it is high time someone made one.
