About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising
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 players into the midst of an intergalactic war between ancient
enemies. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising introduces
the Chaos Space Marines as a new playable army, continues the single player
campaign from the original Dawn of War II, delivers all new wargear
and raises the level cap from 20 to 30. Relic Entertainment will also
deliver new multiplayer maps and new units for the Orks, Eldar, Tyranids and
Space Marines. 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. Newcomers to Dawn of War II will begin the single
player campaign with a squad of Space Marines fully equipped to take on the
malevolent forces of Chaos. Powerful Chaos tainted wargear can be equipped
and used against your enemy, but doing so could lead to dreadful
consequences. Will you risk corruption for power? For more information on
