Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War returns, remastered, with an official release date.
It will arrive on August 14 on Steam and GOG with graphical improvements, all its expansions, and discounts for previous players
Real-time strategy enthusiasts have a new date on their calendars: next August 14, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Definitive Edition will officially launch, a complete remaster of the 2004 classic developed by Relic Entertainment. The title will be available on Steam and GOG platforms, featuring significant visual improvements, support for modern displays, and complete content, including the three original expansions of the game.
The announcement was well received by both veterans of the genre and new audiences seeking to explore the tactical universe of Warhammer 40K in all its splendor.
An enhanced version without losing its essence
The Definitive Edition completely updates the visual and technical experience of the original title. Main improvements include support for 4K resolution, textures four times more detailed, a new lighting system, and full compatibility with ultrawide monitors. These optimizations aim to maintain the fidelity of the gameplay while adapting the product to current hardware and design standards.
The edition also incorporates all original expansions—Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and Soulstorm—which means players will have access to four complete campaigns, nine distinct factions, and more than 200 multiplayer and skirmish maps.

A nod to fans: permanent 30% discount
One of the most valued points by the community is the 30% discount offered to those who already own the Anniversary Edition on Steam. Unlike other temporary promotions, this benefit will be permanent as recognition for players who supported the title from its early stages.
This user-friendly access policy aims to win back nostalgic users, while also lowering barriers for new players interested in joining the saga.

Technical requirements and community expectations
To run this new version, the requirements are relatively accessible for a remastered game: Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen quad-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a graphics card equivalent to the GeForce GTX 950 or Radeon R9 370. The configuration aims to ensure a smooth experience without requiring cutting-edge hardware.
Social media, specialized forums, and Warhammer 40K communities have expressed enthusiasm about the news. Although there are reservations among some purists regarding the visual changes, most agree that this definitive edition represents an opportunity to relive—and in many cases, discover—one of the pillars of the modern RTS genre.
