Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

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.

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).

Native Hor+ support.

  • By default in-game resolution setting only controls the quality of rendering. Press Alt+Enter to use any non-native aspect ratio in true windowed mode.

  • (Negligible?) Although loading screens and FMVs scale correctly, background art on mission debrief and XP/unlock screens is squished below 16:9.
