We won’t blame you for forgetting about the new free content that hit Dawn of War II today — in the hustle and bustle of all things GDC, it certainly slipped my mind.
An update went out today containing fixes and such, but more importantly, five additional units, nine more maps, and Free-for-All mode. As is usually the case, these files will be swiftly shot to your hard drive upon booting up Steam.
We had previously posted a nicely-made video from Relic that discussed this stuff, so consider this a reminder rather than “OLD!,” if you would.
