The classic real-time strategy game, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, is making a triumphant return with its Definitive Edition, announced by Relic Entertainment. As a dedicated fan of the original 2004 release, I was eager to delve deeper than the debut trailer (which you can view below). In true Inquisitor fashion, I sought out design director Philippe Boulle to uncover the details of this much-anticipated revival in the grimdark universe.
Philippe Boulle joined Relic Entertainment in November 2005, diving straight into the development of Dawn of War's second expansion, Dark Crusade. His extensive career at Relic includes contributions to Dawn of War: Soulstorm, Dawn of War 2, Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising, Space Marine, Company of Heroes 2, Dawn of War 3, and Age of Empires 4. With such a rich history with Warhammer 40,000 games, Boulle is the perfect guide to walk us through what's new in the Dawn of War Definitive Edition.
Our discussion not only covered the updates and enhancements in the Definitive Edition but also celebrated the iconic opening cinematic of Dawn of War. Naturally, I couldn't resist probing about the prospects of a Dawn of War 4. For those needing a comprehensive update on all the announcements from Warhammer Skulls 2025, we've got a detailed rundown ready for you.
