The next chapter in the critically acclaimed RTS, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II series has been announced by THQ.

Chaos Rising will launch for PC in Spring 2010. It will raise the single-player level cap from 20 to 30, include 20 new missions, and bring The Chaos Space Marines as a brand new army in multiplayer. Finally, brand new multiplayer units (Orks, Eldar, Tyranids, and Space Marines) and maps will be available.

Press Release:

September 21, 2009 – THQ today announced Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising, the next standalone chapter in the critically acclaimed RTS series, is scheduled for release on Games For Windows LIVE in spring 2010.

Set in the grim, war-ravaged world of Games Workshop’s vast Warhammer 40,000 science fiction universe, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising transports you into the midst of an intergalactic war between ancient enemies.

Continue the single player campaign from the original Dawn of War II with all new Wargear and a level cap raise from 20 to 30 for your Blood Raven squad. Veterans of the Dawn of War II single player campaign can use their existing squads’ accumulated wargear, abilities and experience to battle the traitorous Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion throughout 20 new missions. Powerful new Chaos-tainted wargear can also be equipped and used against your enemy, but doing so could lead to dreadful consequences.

The Chaos Space Marines will also be playable as a brand new army in multiplayer. Other multiplayer additions include new units for Orks, Eldar, Tyranids and Space Marines, as well as new multiplayer maps.
