In the grim darkness of Dawn of War 3, there are only three races

Relic Entertainment and Sega have announced Dawn of War 3. Relic says Dawn of War 3 is a combination of the original game’s scale and the sequel’s customizable heroes. According to the developer, the studio is bringing back mechanics that may make real-time strategy vets happy like base-building while adding new features like “super-walkers” that will tower over the battlefield. With the good there is the bad, and in this case the bad is grim. At launch the game will only have Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar races in the campaign. It’s unclear if there will be more races available in multiplayer, but you can bet there will be some offered as DLC eventually.

Relic talked about Dawn of War 3 in 2011, but that was when they were part of THQ. New ownership and five years has likely changed their original plans for the game.
