Relic Entertainment’s 2004 and 2009 real-time strategy magnum opuses, Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2, have been re-released as Anniversary Editions to celebrate the 15th and 20th years of their real-time strategy franchises. The fresh Anniversary Editions, available on Steam, include all of the DLC and add-ons released for both games over the years. This is especially sweet for Dawn of War 2, which had a metric ton of DLC, skins, codes, weapons, and exclusive bonuses towards the end of its lifecycle.
Both games are also on sale for 80% off, at $7 and $10 respectively.
So far both games have been released on Steam in this fresh edition – no word on whether people who have them on other platforms like GOG will receive the update. Also, I highly doubt Sega is going to honor the update of my 20 year aged copy of Dawn of War – that was on three CDs. I still have them.
“The fan-favorite and iconic Dawn of War and Dawn of War 2, originally developed by Relic Entertainment in 2004 and 2009 respectively, have just turned 20 and 15! To celebrate, we’ve prepared two Anniversary Editions that collect the original game with all its add-ons and expansions, as well as a ton of fun extras for fans. To celebrate the 20th and 15th years of these groundbreaking titles, the Anniversary Editions will be a free update for all current owners of Dawn of War 1 and Dawn of War 2,” reads the Steam post announcing the changes.
Anyway, if someone at Sega would like to send me a code so I can upgrade my CD copies, that would be great. The ad says “all current owners”, right?
You can find Dawn of War AND Dawn of War 2 Anniversary Editions on Steam.
